The Bangladesh Bank (BB) has announced that a newly designed Tk 100 banknote will be released and enter circulation starting August 12.
Confirming the matter, the Bangladesh Bank's Communications and Publications Department issued a press release on Sunday.
According to the media release, the central bank has initiated the process of printing new series banknotes featuring designs inspired by Bangladesh's historic and archaeological architecture across all denominations.
As part of this initiative, the new Tk 100 banknote, signed by Bangladesh Bank Governor Ahsan H Mansur, will be released following the recent introduction of redesigned Tk 1,000, Tk 50, and Tk 20 notes.
Initially, the new Tk 100 notes will be available from Bangladesh Bank's Motijheel office on August 12, and will subsequently be distributed through other regional offices of the central bank.
The central bank also clarified that the newly designed Tk 100 note will circulate alongside all existing paper notes and coins of the same denomination.
Considering the interests of currency collectors, Bangladesh Bank has printed non-negotiable specimen notes of the Tk 100 denomination.
Interested individuals can collect these from the Currency Museum located in Mirpur.
