How to save money on your Türkiye trip
Whether you're sipping Turkish coffee at a quaint café or admiring ancient ruins, every Lira counts. Stretch every Turkish Lira and make the most of your trip with these insider tips!
- First, hone your bargaining skills—it’s practically a sport in Türkiye’s vibrant bazaars, and you’ll often walk away with great deals on carpets, spices, or even handmade trinkets.
- Stick to local eateries for authentic flavours—street food like gözleme, simit, and döner are not just delicious but incredibly affordable.
- Use public transport like trams and dolmuş (shared minibuses) for budget-friendly travel between Turkish delights like Istanbul’s Old City and Cappadocia’s fairy chimneys.
- Don’t forget, many smaller shops and markets prefer cash, so keep some coins and smaller notes handy.
All about Turkish currency
A quick guide to money in Türkiye
Step into the vibrant world of the Turkish Lira, a currency that weaves together Türkiye’s deep-rooted history and modern charm. Every banknote and coin tell a story, featuring Türkiye’s national pride and iconic heritage—from Mustafa Kemal Atatürk’s legacy to breathtaking landmarks.
The Turkish Lira’s past is as colourful as a bustling spice market. It made its debut in 1844 under the Ottoman Empire and has seen its share of makeovers, including a major redesign in 2005 to tackle inflation—hello, New Turkish Lira!
The Turkish Lira isn’t just money—it’s a pocket-sized celebration of culture and history.

Turkish notes and coins
Get to know the Türkish Lira like a pro!
Turkish lira (₺) is subdivided into 100 kuruş (kr).
Banknotes come in denominations of₺5, ₺10, ₺20, ₺50, ₺100 and ₺200 TRY, each featuring stunning imagery of Türkiye’s heroes, culture, and architecture—think Atatürk gracing each note like the VIP he is.
Currently circulating coins include 5kr, 10kr, 25kr, 50kr and the practical ₺1 (1 Lira)... perfect for snagging a sesame-studded simit or hopping on the local dolmuş.
Fun facts about Turkish cash
- Did you know that all Turkish banknotes feature Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the father of modern Türkiye? It’s a tribute to his enduring legacy.
- The modest 1 kurus (1kr) coin is very rare and probably useless (keep digging into those pockets!).
- The Lira has been pegged to both gold and foreign currencies over the years but now floats freely, making the AUD to TRY exchange rate your best friend for a budget-friendly Turkish holiday.
Travel Money Trivia - Türkiye edition
- The Guinness Book of Records ranked the Turkish lira as the world's least valuable currency in 1995 and 1996, and again from 1999-2004.
- The Lira is the former currency of Italy, Malta, San Marino and the Vatican City. These countries replaced the Lira with the Euro in 2002. It was also the currency of Israel until it was replaced with the old Shekel in 1980.
