About Turkey currency
Coins and notes
Turkish lira (₺) is subdivided into 100 kuruş (kr). Currently circulating coins include 5kr, 10kr, 25kr, 50kr and ₺1. 1kr coins are very rare and probably useless (keep digging into those pockets!). Banknotes are available in ₺5, ₺10, ₺20, ₺50, ₺100 and ₺200 variations.
