The Bangladeshi 2-taka note (৳2) is made up of 200 poisa as ৳2 = 200 poisa. Currently, it is one of the government-issued Bangladeshi banknotes in circulation. As a result, the two taka note is a note bearing the signature of the finance secretary and not the governor of the national bank of the country.[1]

The government of Bangladesh issued this note for public use on 29 December 1988.[2] The color of the note was salmon pink; currently it is tan and green. The front side of the note had a monument to the Bengali language movement,[3] and on the back was a picture of a magpie bird. In 2015, it was decided to abolish the two taka note.[4] These notes are smuggled to India and Bangladesh for the purpose of making counterfeit money, preserving them as antiques, and making drug pipes.[5] On 15 July 2021, the note was issued under the new finance secretary. The present note has a picture of Bangabandhu.[6]
