On January 1, 2009,
the Central
Bank of the Republic of Turkey will
introduce a new series of Turkish
Lira banknotes which differ
from, and will replace, the 2005
series called New Turkish Liras (Yeni
Türk Lirasi).
There will be no change in
the value of the Turkish lira.
All values and conversions will remain
the same. (Here
are current Turkish lira
exchange rates.)
The new "E9" series of banknotes will
be called simply Turkish Lira (Türk
Lirasi) instead of New
Turkish Lira (Yeni
Türk Lirasi) as on
the older 2005-series notes.
Here's
how the 2009-series Turkish
Lira notes
look:
(Of course the real notes will not
have Örnektir Geçmez ["Specimen"]
printed across them.)
The old 2005
New Turkish Lira notes will
be withdrawn during 2009 as the new
"E9" series of TL bank notes is
introduced. The goal is to withdraw
most of the 2005-series notes
during 2009.
The old YTL
notes will be legal
for payments during 2009.
Beginning
on January 1, 2010 and until December
31, 2019, they will not be accepted
for payment, but may be exchanged for
2009-series notes at any branch of
the Central Bank of the Republic of
Turkey, or Türkiye Ziraat Bankasi.
As of January 1, 2020, the YTL notes
will be worthless except
as collector's items.
Note that there are also
even older pre-2005 Turkish Lira
notes. These have been withdrawn from
circulation and are no longer
valid for payment. Be careful not to accept
them! More...
