DHAKA: Ahead of Eid-ul-Adha, Bangladesh central bank on Sunday introduced new currency notes of Taka 1,000, Taka 50 and Taka 20, dropping the image of the country's founding father, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman .
The new notes, which will be available in banks in the capital from Monday, will have images of various nationally important establishments and scenic places.
The bank's Motijheel office started distributing the new notes on a limited scale from Sunday. The notes will be available at other places later.
Last week, Bangladesh Bank governor Ahsan H Mansur had said the newly designed notes will not feature any human portraits but showcase natural landscapes and traditional landmarks.
