Bangladeshi Taka to Bermudian dollar

The Bangladeshi taka (sign ৳, code BDT) is the national currency used and issued in the Republic of Bangladesh. Until recently, 1 taka correlated to 100 coins – poysha. Today, they are not used in circulation.

The Bangladeshi taka has appeared in 1972. Before that, the republic was in the Pakistan union and used the Pakistani rupee. While issuing commemorative banknotes devoted to the 40th anniversary of the currency, there has been made an unpleasant mistake in the name of the country. Afterwards, it was fixed, but the notes now are part of different private collections.

The Islands of Bermuda are part of the Great Britain territory, although they are located far away from the main United Kingdom’s territory. Here, there is a separate currency called the Bermudian dollar (sign BD$, code BMD). The Bermudian cents are used as change for BMD.

There are coins worth 10 and 50 cents that are issued as of today. The $ currency has been issued since 1970 replacing the Bermudian pound. Commemorative coins are of special interest for numismatists. So-called “Bermuda triangles” have a corresponding shape, but are made out of different alloys and have different denomination.
