If you've seen both TRY and TL used for Turkish currency and wondered if they're different things, they're not.

TRY is the official ISO currency code used internationally in exchange rates, banking, and financial systems worldwide.
TL is the common abbreviation used locally in Turkey on price tags, ATMs, shop signs, and everyday conversation.

Whether you search "AUD to TRY" or "AUD to TL," you're converting to the same currency. On this page we use TRY as the standard code, but you'll see TL throughout since most travellers use both.

How to save money on your Türkiye trip

Hone your bargaining skills before you go. Haggling is expected and enjoyed at Turkey's bazaars and markets, whether you're after carpets, spices, ceramics, or handmade trinkets.
Stick to local eateries for the best food and value. Street snacks like gözleme, simit, and döner are delicious and cheap. Many smaller local restaurants charge a fraction of tourist-area prices.
Use public transport. Istanbul's tram, metro, and ferry network is efficient and affordable. For longer trips between regions, dolmuş (shared minibuses) are a budget-friendly option.
Many smaller shops and markets in Turkey are cash-preferred or cash-only, so keep smaller TRY notes handy for everyday spending.

All about Turkish currency

A quick guide to money in Türkiye

The official currency of Turkey is the Turkish Lira, with the international code TRY and the local abbreviation TL. The symbol is ₺. One lira divides into 100 kuruş (kr).

The Turkish Lira has roots going back to the Ottoman Empire. The Ottoman Lira was introduced in 1844, while the kuruş remained as a subdivision. The Ottoman Lira stayed in circulation until the end of 1927, when the Republic of Turkey established its own monetary system. In 2005, following decades of severe inflation, the government removed six zeros from the currency, turning 1,000,000 old lira into 1 new lira.

The ₺ symbol was introduced in 2012 following a design contest run by the Central Bank of Turkey. The winning design features a half anchor with two upward-facing lines, representing stability and growth.

Turkish notes and coins

Banknotes: ₺5, ₺10, ₺20, ₺50, ₺100, ₺200

Coins: 5kr, 10kr, 25kr, 50kr, ₺1

Each banknote features a portrait of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk on the front, the founder of the Republic of Turkey and its first President. The reverses showcase Turkey's cultural heritage, architecture, and historical figures.

Fun facts about Turkish cash

All Turkish banknotes feature Mustafa Kemal Atatürk on the front, a consistent feature of Turkish currency since the republic was established in 1923.
The 1 kuruş coin is technically legal tender but is rarely seen in everyday circulation due to its negligible value.
The Turkish Lira has been pegged to gold, then to foreign currencies, and now floats freely, making the AUD to TRY exchange rate move with global market conditions.

Travel Money Trivia - Türkiye edition

The Guinness Book of Records ranked the Turkish lira as the "World's Least Valued Currency" on two separate occasions: in 1995–1996, and again from 1999 to 2004. At the peak of the crisis in 2005, one US dollar was worth over 1.35 million Turkish lira.
The Ottoman Lira was introduced in 1844, while the kuruş remained as a 1/100 subdivision. The Ottoman Lira stayed in circulation until the end of 1927.
The name "lira" is shared across several currencies and former currencies. It was the currency of Italy, Malta, San Marino, and Vatican City before those countries adopted the Euro in 2002, and of Israel until it was replaced by the old shekel in 1980.

What is the best place to buy Turkish Lira in Australia?
A dedicated foreign currency specialist will almost always offer a better deal than a bank, post office, or airport exchange. Here's how the options compare:
- Banks typically charge transaction fees on top of a less competitive rate.
- Post offices offer limited currency options and variable rates.
- Airport exchanges are the most expensive option. Buy before you travel, not after you land.
Travel Money Oz charges no fees or commission on TRY cash purchases, offers a Price Beat Guarantee on in-store purchases, and stocks Turkish Lira every day across 90+ stores as part of our In Stock Promise. You can also order Turkish Lira online for same-day click & collect or home delivery.
Is it cheaper to exchange AUD to TRY in Australia or Turkey?
It's almost always better to buy Turkish Lira in Australia before you travel. Airport exchanges at Istanbul Airport and tourist-area currency counters typically offer less favourable rates and higher fees. Sorting your lira before you leave also means you arrive financially prepared, with cash ready for transport and immediate expenses from the moment you land.
Travel Money Oz offers competitive AUD to TRY rates, no fees or commission, and same-day online ordering with click & collect or home delivery. Find your nearest store if you'd prefer to buy in person.

How much is 1 AUD in Turkish Lira?
What affects the AUD to TRY exchange rate?
The AUD to TRY exchange rate is influenced by a range of economic factors, including:
- Turkey's monetary policy and inflation, which has been a major driver of lira depreciation in recent years
- Interest rate decisions by the Reserve Bank of Australia and the Central Bank of Turkey
- Global commodity prices, particularly for Australian mineral exports
- Investor sentiment toward emerging market currencies, as TRY is considered an emerging market currency
The Turkish lira has been in a period of managed depreciation since 2023. Rates can move significantly, so it's worth checking the live AUD to TRY rate above before you buy.
What can I do with leftover Turkish Lira after my trip?
How much spending money do I need for Turkey?
Turkey is one of the more affordable destinations for Australian travellers, particularly given the significant decline in the lira's value in recent years. As a rough guide:
- Budget travellers staying in hostels and eating local street food typically spend AUD $40–$70 per day.
- Mid-range travellers average AUD $80–$130 per day once accommodation, restaurant dining, and activities are factored in.
- Istanbul and coastal resort towns like Bodrum and Antalya sit at the higher end. Inland cities and rural areas are significantly more affordable.
Worth noting: tipping is customary in Turkey. At restaurants, 10–15% is standard. Small tips for taxi drivers, hotel staff, and tour guides are also appreciated.
