BB to issue new Tk 500 banknote tomorrow

Bangladesh Bank (BB) is set to issue a new Tk 500 banknote from its 'Historical and Archaeological Architecture of Bangladesh' series on Thursday, reports UNB.

The new note, bearing the signature of Governor Dr. Ahsan H. Mansur, is part of a series that will eventually cover all denominations.

The central bank has already put new Tk 1,000, Tk 100, Tk 50, and Tk 20 notes from this new design series into circulation.

The new Tk 500 note will initially be issued from Bangladesh Bank's Motijheel office on December 4, and subsequently from its other branch offices across the country.

The new note is being introduced with a contemporary design and enhanced security features.
