New Tk 100 banknote to be released Tuesday

After introducing new Tk 1,000, Tk 50, and Tk 20 notes, the central bank has decided to release a new Tk 100 banknote into the market on Tuesday (August 12).

The information was confirmed in a press release issued on Sunday by the Communications and Publications Department of the central bank, signed by Director Nurunnahar.

The new note, predominantly blue, features the historic Sixty Dome Mosque (Shat Gombuj Masjid) in Bagerhat on the front left side, with the national flower, the water lily (Shapla), at the center. The reverse side showcases a scenic view of the Sundarbans, the world’s largest mangrove forest.

The note is fully legal tender and will circulate alongside existing notes until older versions are gradually phased out.
