Turkish Lira banknotes and coins will be withdrawn from circulation as of January 1st 2006. They can be converted into new banknotes only by the Central Bank (Türkiye Cumhuriyet Merkez Bankasi—TCMB) for a period of 10 years. Note that you should not accept old Turkish Lira notes any more. Insist on receiving only New Turkish Lira notes.

We were given the old lira in change a few weeks ago. We also had a few left over from other hols. In all 7000000. Not much really so I cringed with horror as my sister in law marched into a bank to change them. For some strange reason she came out with YTL13, nearly double what she went in with!!! We went off with smiles on our faces for a couple of g&t's.

Bank notes to be changed from 1 January 2009.
The 1 January 2005 saw the introduction of the new Turkish Lira – YTL. The new bank notes removed 6 zero’s from the old note values and included the words ‘Yeni Turk Lirasi’ on the front and back. Now authorities plan to remove the Yeni and revert to Turk Lirasi, or TL.
It is also planned to introduce further security measures into the notes, including changing the size and shapes of different notes, to limit the success of counterfeiters.
Financial authorities are also looking into the pros and cons of introducing a new 200YTL note which would be worth approximately £72. Given that the 100YTL note often dispensed by cash machines can be difficult enough to ‘break’ in to change, the introduction of a 200YTL note could provide some fun! Imagine the uproar of using such a note to pay the Dolmus fare!
