10-taka banknote featuring ‘Graffiti-2024’ to hit market tomorrow

A new 10-taka banknote will be issued by Bangladesh Bank (BB) tomorrow as part of a new series called “Historical and Archaeological Architecture of Bangladesh.”

The new note, signed by Dr. Ahsan H. Mansur, the governor of Bangladesh Bank, will be issued tomorrow from the central bank’s Motijheel office and then made available at all other bank offices.

Measuring 123 mm x 60 mm, the new banknote features pink as its predominant colour.

The front side of the note depicts the Baitul Mukarram National Mosque in Dhaka on the left, with the national flower, the water lily, prominently featured in the center. The back of the note carries an image titled ‘Graffiti-2024’.

According to the central bank, all currently circulating 10-taka paper notes and metal coins will remain legal tender alongside the new version. 

Bangladesh Bank has already initiated the printing of this new series for all denominations (1000, 500, 200, 100, 50, 20, 10, 5, and 2 Taka). Notes for the 1000, 500, 100, 50, and 20 Taka denominations have already been released into the market.

For currency collectors, specimen notes (which are not for exchange) have also been printed. These can be purchased at a fixed price from the Taka Museum located in Mirpur, Dhaka.
