History
History
Until the Bangladesh Liberation War in 1971, the Pakistani rupee was the currency of the country. The Bangladeshi currency was first issued on March 4, 1972, after Bangladesh gained independence. The official currency was named taka; later "৳" was designated as the symbol of taka. The minimum unit of money fixed is one rupee. And a percentage of money is called paisa. That is, ৳1 is equal to 100 paise. 5 paisa, 10 paisa, 25 paisa, and 50 paisa were introduced in 1973.
Design
