Recently, a video went viral on social media showing people selling bundles of money in Bangladeshi markets. We all buy goods based on our needs, but have you ever heard of a currency market? Surprising, right? Typically, selling currency is penalized, even though it’s used to buy everything else. But in the video below, you’ll witness a unique market in Bangladesh, aptly named the “Market of Notes.”

Recently on social media, a video creator named Rai Harsh, known on Instagram as fearlessnomadiker, shared a shocking video. In it, he explains to the masses how bundles of currency notes are being sold openly in markets like vegetables.
In India, many people run note exchange shops where they provide new currency notes in exchange for damaged ones. However, this service is not free; shopkeepers charge a fixed commission for exchanging damaged notes with fresh ones.
However, this video from Bangladesh tells a different story. It appears that people have set up currency shops similar to grocery stores. Rai Harsh’s video has gone viral on social media, garnering 8.9 million views. It has received 185k likes and 4,299 comments.

Commenting on the video, a user mentioned that this isn’t just happening in Bangladesh; it’s also common in Delhi, where currency is sold openly. For instance, if you have a torn 100 rupee note, you might receive 80 or 90 rupees in exchange. While banks do offer note exchange services, they involve long queues. As a result, people prefer to come here to get their notes exchanged quickly, the user added.
