In a previous edit much like the word buck (pl. bucks) in English is used to refer to dollar amounts. was used to describe the use of Taka to refer to the Indian Rupee, in the Assamese and Bengali languages.

This isn't a valid analogy. Taka is used officially to refer to the Indian Rupee in these languages (look at any Rupee note, or at http://www.rbi.org.in/currency/Language%20Panel%20on%20Notes.html which contains a written description of the denomination in each Indian language. For Assamese and Bengali, Taka is written.

On the other hand, (for example), the US Dollar is never officially called a buck.

I understand your point, but the sentence "though this article will talk about the Bangladeshi currency" sounds really awkward. Can you reword it? --Ragib 16:02, 12 Mar 2005 (UTC)

[edit] New Pics

Wouldn't it be better if someone put ek poisha thru an updated ek coin picture up there

[edit] Treasury/Bank ?

Could someone who knows put up an explanation as to what the functional difference there is between the two? 68.39.174.238 16:29, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

One is issued by the Government (treasury) and is noted as such on the face of the note. The other is issued by the state owned Bank (Bangladesh Bank), and is stated on the face of the note as such. --Ragib 16:45, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Usage of ৲ (BENGALI RUPEE MARK U+09F2)

In the List of circulating currencies, it lists ৲ as a symbol for this currency. My suspicion is that the symbol is actually used to indicate a single taka, though I have no evidence for that. Anyway, perhaps someone with specific knowledge of Bangladeshi currency would like to write something about it in the main article? --Ajhoughton 11:59, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Taka

I actually think that Taka is an "official" name for the Indian Ruppee as well, not just coloqially used.--ppm 18:23, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

I had the same question, so I verified this. Yes, the Indian Rupee has text from all 22+ official languages, including Bangla. And the Bangla text calls the currency as Taka (written in Bangla). --Ragib 19:29, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Bangladesh 14.gif

Image:Bangladesh 14.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 23:43, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
