Bangladesh
The People's Republic of Bangladesh (formerly East Pakistan) is located on the Bay of Bengal bordered by India and Burma. After independence in 1971 the new state endured famines, natural disasters and widespread poverty, as well as political turmoil and military coups. The restoration of democracy in 1991 has been followed by relative stability and economic progress.The economy is predominantly agricultural with Jute and Tea being the main exports.

Bangladesh Coins
Bangladesh's first coinage was issued in 1973, coins were introduced in denominations of 5, 10, 25 and 50 poisha.1 poisha coins followed in 1974, with 1 taka coins introduced in 1975. There are 100 Poisha = 1 Taka. We tend to see very few Bangladeshi coins, although some such as the Silver Proof Crown in our photographs, are quite attractive.
