Govt to issue new five-taka note today
'The new note will be released through the central bank, marking the upcoming Eid ul-Fitr,'
The government is going to issue a new currency note denominating Tk5 signed by the Finance Ministry’s senior Secretary Hedayetullah Al Mamoon.
The currency note will be distributed through the central bank today while it will be available in other branches of Bangladesh Bank later, according to the ministry sources.
“The new note will be released through the central bank, marking the upcoming Eid ul-Fitr,” said the secretary. “There are some changes to the new note compared to the existing one.”
According to sources, the image of national monument and portrait of the Father of Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman are stamped on the front side of the new note while image of Kusumba mosque of Naogaon is on the back.
However, the colour, size, watershed, design and other security features of the new note are similar to the previous one.
Though the existing note and coin denominating Tk5 were issued by the central bank, the new currency note has been issued by the government.
