“Our currency Taka is the big symbol of our Independence.
It reminds the Language Movement and the War of Liberation,” the Speaker of the Jatiya Sangsad Dr Shirin Sharmin Chowdhury said while inaugurating a new museum “Taka Jadughor” as chief guest at the Bangladesh Bank Training Academy (BBTA), Mirpur. Speaker said currency or Taka is not wordless rather it talks about history.
She has underscored the need for collecting this ancient coins and taka through which new generation would
recognize the legendary history of the country. BB governor DrAtiur Rahman took the initiative to build an international standard currency museum in the country.
“To enrich our museum, we have already collected coins and paper notes of a good number of countries and we will continue our collection drive,”Atiur said.
A web portal was launched to help people around the world to know about the museum’s collections including coins, paper money or barter practice maintained by people at the very beginning of transactions in this part of the globe.
