Abstract

In 1972, Bangladesh Bank was established as the central bank, and the following year, Bangladesh introduced its first treasury note. Since then, the country has embarked on its journey with Taka, its own paper currency. This article aims to explore the various historical contexts from the inception of this currency to the present, examine its design diversity, and identify the changes over time. By addressing these questions, the article seeks to investigate relevant theories and clarify the characteristics and graphical development of Bangladesh's paper money during the 1970s.
