HIGH VALUE TURKISH MONEY
IT IS ILLEGAL TO DUPLICATE, IMITATE, RENOVATE
OR WHAT SO EVER, SHORTLY
DON'T DO IT!!


        Turkey had a high inflation rate in the past years, around of 90% in some of the years. As a result the money has a lot of  " zeros " . It would be wiser to memorize the colors of the money then to count the numbers on any money in Turkey. I have provided here all the Turkish money photos to help you. the currency is given for the date I have written below, it may change in time so be aware of that.

          It is wise to ask for the price in Us dollars or in the currency of your country. This will help you to compare the price more or less with your own country.
          In places where you don't feel comfortable with the money; put the money on the counter and wait for the shop keeper to give you the rest of the money with your hand on top of your money. 
          These are just recommendations to you, it doesn't mean that these will happen. You need to know these as a experienced traveller and it can happen to anyone in any country. Protect your self before you hurt yourself.
