Dhaka, Dec 6, 2024: Months after Sheikh Hasina fled Bangladesh, the country is removing the image of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman—Hasina’s father—from its currency.
 
According to reports, the new notes will feature religious structures, Bengali cultural symbols, and graffiti created during the July protests.
 

“I hope the new notes will be released into the market within the next six months,” said Husneara Shikha, Executive Director of Bangladesh Bank.
