Mostly the only coinage I saw was the Tk 1.00 coin, but I'm sure I had a Tk 0.50 coin at one stage - can't remember how I got it though, possibly paying to use a toilet at a station or something? Were there any coins other than 1 taka and 50 cents (or 50 whatevers)? Everything 2 taka and up was a note as I recall. |
