  1. nice posts for Pakistanis who never seen such old currency notes of Pakistan.

  2. I believe there was only one set of currency for all of pakistan 1947-1971, and these notes had both Urdu and Bangla written on them – you are mistaken in stating that separate notes were used in east and west pak (how could that possibly be?). So all the notes you have listed used “only in east pakistan” are actually the only notes that were used in all pakistan during the whole time that east bengal was part of pak.

    I am sure if you do a little bith of research/questioning of people who were active at the time they will confirm this to you. Please correct in your write-up as this type of inaccuracy distorts the legal nature of the relationship during united period and of history in general.

    Other than that, nice collection!

      • One correction in the article is that there was a Rs 2 brown coloured currency note in circulation from 1951-54. It is a very rare note now.

    Here is a mistake. After the description of 10 Rupees and from the beginning of 20 Rupees, “20 Rupees have been written as ***200***Rupees*** Yes, of course its a typing mistake and should be correct I think. Oh, one another thing. I can’t see the “100 Rupee Note” which have been used before 1971 in “East Pakistan” now Bangladesh. What about the “100 Rupee/ একশো টাকা) Note? Isn’t available or what? If that note is unavailable then I may donate that 100 Rupee note. Thank you
