Until the Liberation War in Bangladesh in 1971, the Pakistani rupee was the currency of the country. Bangladeshi currency was first issued on March 4, 1972, after the independence of Bangladesh. 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. In 1973, 5 paisa, 10 paisa, 25 paisa, and 50 paisa were introduced.

On 29 December 1988, the second government note of Rs 2 was issued. In 2004, a 2-taka coin made of "steel" was issued. The obverse of the design of this coin had the national symbol of Bangladesh. At the center of the national emblem is a lotus flower floating in water, surrounded by two grains of rice.
