On January 1, 2009,
the Central
Bank of the Republic of Turkey
introduced a new series of Turkish
Lira banknotes which differ
from, and replaced, the 2005
series called New Turkish Liras (Yeni
Türk Lirasi).
There was no change in
the value of the Turkish lira.
All values and conversions remained
the same. (Here
are current Turkish lira
exchange rates.)
The new "E9" series of banknotes
are 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New Turkish Lira notes were withdrawn
during 2009 as the new
"E9" series of TL bank notes
were introduced.
The old YTL
notes were legal
for payments during 2009.
Beginning
on January 1, 2010 and until December
31, 2019, old
YTL notes 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 These have been withdrawn from
circulation and are no longer
valid for payment.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...
