Bangladeshi Taka to Polish Zloty

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 Polish zloty (symbol: zl,, code: PLN, number : 985) is the official currency in Poland. The money is called this way here since the 16th century. Modern zloty appeared in 1919 after Poland regained its independence.

The name meaning "golden" was used to call so a ducat coin made of gold. Zloty is subdivided into 100 groszy. Upon the collapse of the socialist camp Poland has joined the EU, but has not yet become a member of the Eurozone, preferring to preserve its own national currency.
