Govt set to release Tk1,000, Tk50, Tk20 notes with new designs before Eid

Bangladesh Bank Governor Ahsan H Mansur has announced that new Tk1,000, Tk50 and Tk20 banknotes will be released into circulation before Eid-ul-Adha.

The notes will not feature any human portraits but will instead showcase natural landscapes and traditional landmarks of Bangladesh, he said while talking to journalists after an event held at the PKSF building in Dhaka today (24 May).

The new bank notes that the government will release ahead of Eid-ul-Adha will have images of mosques, temples, historical landmarks and natural sceneries printed on them, while these notes will not have images of any person, according to Mansur.
