According to a press release issued today by the central bank, the note will initially be issued from the Bangladesh Bank’s Motijheel office and subsequently from its other offices across the country.

The Tkt 10 note measures 123 mm x 60 mm and features a predominant pink color scheme.

Watermark: Includes the face of a Royal Bengal Tiger, a bright electrotype watermark of the number '10', and the Bangladesh Bank monogram.

The central bank has incorporated several advanced security features to prevent counterfeiting.

The Bangladesh Bank confirmed that all existing banknotes and metallic coins currently in circulation will remain valid alongside the new series.

Additionally, for currency collectors, non-exchangeable "Specimen" notes have been printed. These can be purchased from the Taka Museum in Mirpur at a fixed price.

This release is part of a broader initiative by the central bank to update the designs of all denominations, including 2, 5, 20, 50, 100, 200, 500, and 1000 taka notes. Several other denominations have already been introduced into the market.
