The Turkish Lira (TRY) is the official currency of Türkiye, issued by the Central Bank of the Republic of Türkiye.
The modern series features portraits of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, founder of the Republic, paired with illustrations of cultural landmarks, scientific achievements, and artistic heritage from across the country.
These notes incorporate advanced security features, vibrant colour schemes, and durable materials designed for long‑term circulation in Türkiye’s varied climate.
They remain the primary legal tender nationwide and are widely recognised throughout the region.

Before the introduction of the current “New Turkish Lira” reforms in 2005, Türkiye issued several earlier generations of Lira banknotes.
These withdrawn notes include classic paper issues, older portraits, traditional engraving styles, and designs reflecting Türkiye’s economic and political evolution throughout the late 20th century.
Earlier series featured different layouts, older security elements, and denominations that were gradually replaced during the redenomination process, when six zeros were removed from the currency.
Although no longer used in everyday transactions, earlier Turkish Lira notes still appear in stored belongings, travel documents, and long‑kept personal items — especially high‑denomination pre‑2005 notes.
At Thecurrencycounter.co.uk, we accept a wide range of outdated Turkish Lira notes, including early paper issues, transitional designs, and denominations no longer seen in circulation.
