10-taka postage stamp depicts Dr. Muhammad Yunis as a winner of a Nobel Peace Prize. But the stamp shows the medal for the Nobel Prize in physiology or chemistry, and incorrect abbreviation of "Muhammad". The stamp is withdrawn, and a modified stamp is issued 5 days later. The new stamp fully spells "Muhammad", shows the correct medal, and more correctly refers to the medal as the Nobel Peace Prize.
