Look into it
For our day-to-day financial transactions we have to use one, two and five taka notes and/or coins. But people often fall in trouble while transacting as the lower valued notes/coins are in short supply. For this, sometimes people have to give one or two taka more or the shopkeepers or the receivers have to take less than the actual price.
I do not understand why the government does not take the matter seriously.
In this regard, I would like to mention the case of coins. In our country almost every family keeps an earthen 'bank' in which they deposit the coins regularly. So, sufficient coins never exist in circulation.
Furthermore, when the value of metal of the coins becomes more than their face value, people start melting them for other uses.
I believe the government and our central bank would take necessary steps to mitigate the problem by issuing sufficient paper notes, and certainly in quality paper.
