Midday Brief, Friday, June 8, 2018

Vendors display fresh bank notes for 'sale' in Gulistan, Dhaka ahead of Eid. The demand for small bills of mint-fresh currency is on a high during the festival, for distribution among the poor, and to younger family members as 'salami' (an auspicious token). The smaller notes can be exchanged for a rate of an additional Tk 30 per 1000. Photo: STAR/ Amran Hossain
