1.   Signature Ahmed, Jamuna bridge, Bangla serial numbers.


2.   Signature Rahman (1st sig variety), Jamuna bridge, Bangla serial numbers.


3.   Signature Rahman (2nd sig variety), Bangabandhu bridge, Bangla serial numbers.


4.   Signature Rahman (2nd sig variety), Bangabandhu bridge, Western serial numbers at lower right.


5.   Signature Rahman (1st sig variety), Jamuna bridge, Western serial numbers at lower right.


The fifth variety is the new discovery, and it is odd because the signature reverted back to Rahman&rsquo;s original signature variety, and the name of the bridge on the back reverted to the old name of Jamuna, but the Western serial numbers at lower right place the order of printing after the fourth variety, and before the first variety dated 2010, which has Rahman&rsquo;s 2nd signature variety and the new Bangabandhu bridge name.


Apparently Security Printing Corporation must have discovered unused stocks of the second 2009 variety notes and decided to apply the new Western serial numbers and issue these notes into circulation.

The new note is printed by Goznak in Russia.


On 15 November 2010, the bank issued a commemorative 100,000-kip note (BOL B16 / PNL), but it didn&rsquo;t circulate for commercial purposes out of fear that it would spark inflation.

Curiously, this note has an electrotype 10 in the watermark, indicating it was likely printed on extra 10-taka banknote paper.   However, Bank Bangladesh has not yet issued a new 10-taka note with the same watermark.


A total of 20,000 notes were printed, of which 5,000 were packaged as numismatic products in a folder, some of which had an error in the spelling of the country&rsquo;s name on front (see above).


Anyone interested in buying one of these notes with or without the commemorative folders can contact the contributor by clicking the link below.   Be sure to say you saw it mentioned on BanknoteNews.com to receive a significant discount.
