The Bangladeshi 2-taka note (৳2) is made up of hundred 200 poise as ৳2 = 200 poisa. Currently, it is one of government-issued Bangladeshi banknote 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 & green. 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 drugs.[5] In 15 July 2021, the note was issued under new finance secretary. The present note has picture of Bangabandhu.[6]
