The '''Bangladeshi taka''' ({{lang-bn|বাংলাদেশি টাকা}}, symbol: ৳, code: BDT) is the official currency of [[Bangladesh]]. It is subdivided into 100 units called '''poisha'''. The currency is issued and regulated by the [[Bangladesh Bank]], the central bank of the country.<ref>{{cite web|title=Bangladeshi Taka|url=https://www.bb.org.bd/|access-date=December 15, 2024}}</ref>

== History ==
The Bangladeshi taka was introduced on 4 March 1972, replacing the [[Pakistani rupee]] at par after the independence of Bangladesh in 1971.<ref>{{cite web|title=History of Bangladeshi Currency|url=https://www.britannica.com/topic/taka|access-date=December 15, 2024}}</ref> The name ''taka'' is derived from the Sanskrit term ''tankah'', which referred to ancient silver coins used in the Bengal region.

=== Early Notes and Coins ===
