In a significant shift for Bangladesh, the image of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, long considered the founding father of the nation and head of the Awami League, has been removed from the country’s currency notes. According to reports, Bangladesh’s central bank has released a new series of banknotes featuring updated designs. Unlike previous versions, the new notes no longer bear the image of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. Instead, they showcase natural landscapes and historical landmarks of Bangladesh. Initially, the redesigned notes include denominations of 20, 50, and 1000 Taka. Each of these no longer carries Sheikh Mujibur Rahman’s portrait, marking a visible departure from decades of tradition.
