Bangladesh 5 taka 1994 & 1996
This is an old gap in Krause catalogue that most of us have already noticed in our collections:
The 5 taka 1994 and 1996 types that Krause currently names as KM#18.1 are in fact quite different.
The main difference is for clouds at top of bridge: 1994 cloud is bit flat and homogeneous, while 1996 cloud is a bit higher and made of small joined bunches of clouds.
Right now, both years are type KM#18.1 for Krause. This was already reported and soon 1996 will be a different KM.
Also, there is another 5 taka 1996 completely different, with wider details and different clouds, which is KM#18.2:

Bangladesh 5 taka 2006 & 2008
The 2008 type has a different composition (magnetic steel, ferritic) than the 2006 (non-magnetic steel, austenite).
Also, design changes are obvious when looking at both types:
-Different clouds and bridge pillars
-Much smaller bengali writings and numerals
Only Schön (and not Krause) distinguishes between them. 2006 type is KM#26 for Krause. 2008 will be a different KM.
