About Afghan Afghani
The afghani is the official currency of Afghanistan, a status it has held since the 1920s. It is nominally subdivided into 100 puls, although there are no pul coins in circulation these days. Printed in Poland, the afghani currency is managed solely by the Central Bank of Afghanistan.
The afghani was introduced in 1923 but is still informally referred to as a rupee by some in conversation and transactions, a legacy of its predecessing Afghan rupee currency. Its current exchange rate is around 65 afghanis for 1 United States dollar. WikipediaAbout Bangladeshi Taka
The taka is the currency of Bangladesh.
Issuance of banknotes ৳10 and larger is controlled by Bangladesh Bank, while the ৳2 and ৳5 govt. notes are the responsibility of the ministry of finance. The govt. notes of Tk. 2 and Tk.5 have mostly been replaced by coins while lower denomination coins up to Tk. 1 have almost gone out of circulation due to inflation. The most commonly used symbol for the taka is "৳" and "Tk", used on receipts while purchasing goods and services. It is divided into 100 poysha, but poysha coins are no longer in circulation. The poysha is still used for accounting purposes.
On 8 May 2024, the central bank placed the taka in a crawling peg to the US dollar, with a rate of 117 takas per US dollar. Wikipedia
