Turkish Money:


The New Turkish Lira (TRY) is the currency in Turkey. It is also known as Yeni Türk Lirasi (YTL). The New Turkish Lira is divided into 100 new kurus.

The notes are in denominations of TRY 1, 5, 10, 20, 50 and 100 liras. The lira is divided into 100 Kurus (koo-ROOSH), with coins in denominations of Kr1, 5, 10, 25 and 50 (Kurus) and TL1. Turkish money

It's usually best to obtain your Turkish liras in Turkey rather than before you leave home, as the exchange rates outside Turkey are usually not as good as those inside the country. It's easy to obtain liras while you travel in Turkey by using your home bank ATM card, or exchanging cash US dollars, euros or GB pounds.

The YTL replaced the old Türk Lirasi (TL, TRL) in 2005. Old Turkish liras were withdrawn from circulation during 2005. Note that you should not accept pre-2005 Turkish Lira notes —the ones with lots of zeros—any more. They are no longer legal for payment.
