Here are old pre-2005 Turkish
Lira notes (bills) and coins, now no
longer in circulation. Do not
accept them!
On January 1, 2009,
a new series
of Turkish Lira notes was introduced.
You should accept only
these Turkish Lira notes.
The New
Turkish Lira (YTL:
Yeni Türk Lirasi), current
from 2005 through 2008, made the
old pre-2005 Turkish Lira (Türk
Lirasi, TL, TRL) notes and
coins obsolete.
If someone tries to pay you with old
pre-2005 series notes or New Turkish
Lira (YTL) notes, do not accept
them! Insist on the 2009
series Turkish Lira notes.
It's not that the old pre-2005 Turkish
Lira and 2005-to-2008 New Turkish Lira
notes are valueless. Rather, they're
inconvenient: they may be exchanged
for the current notes only at
Turkish Central Bank (TC Merkez
Bankasi) offices or, in the absence
of a Central Bank office, at a TC
Ziraat Bankasi office, until December
31, 2016.
If you don't do that, you'll probably
have to find some other sucker to accept
them, and it won't be a Turk.
TL1.00
is equal to (old) TL1,000,000. In other
words, a million old liras
became one new lira.
The Turkish Lira is divided into
100 kurus (koo-ROOSH).
