Shouldn't we have the new lira coin shown rather than the new kuruş coin? Evertype 16:51, 2005 Jan 2 (UTC)
Just curious: is there any reason why the coins are so similiar to the Euro coins? -- till we ☼☽ | Talk 21:31, 2 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Seems to have been changed in 2009. After verification the page should be modified in this sense.-- Dominique Meeùs ( talk) 10:45, 31 January 2013 (UTC)
The rates are a bit off...The Central Bank of Turkey announced that, as of Jan 1, 2005, 1 USD = 1.4250 TRY, and 1 Euro = 1.7190 TRY.
Also, this is not a revaluation as the article suggests, but merely throwing out zeroes for convenience and psychological reasons, as indicated by the Central Bank of Turkey's F.A.Q. about TRY. -- Mu5ti 01:19, Jan 3, 2005 (UTC)
From the article "In late December 2004, the Turkish Parliament passed a law which allows for the removal of six zeroes from the currency, and the creation of the new Turkish lira." But "late december 2004" sounds a bit late to me to get new money circulating as of Jan 1, 2005.
I think Category "European Currencies" is contentious, and suggest that it be removed. Evertype 10:12, 2005 Feb 18 (UTC)
I had the chance to hold a 1 YTL banknote yesterday and measured it. -- Q43 18:23, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
Would somebody who knows add a bit about why the currency is called the lira? Thanks. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Huntington ( talk • contribs) 18:11, 13 May 2007 (UTC).
According to the map on the Currency signs article, Turkey uses a pound sign (£) to designate its currency? Is this true? SergioGeorgini 23:29, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
Is the plan for the 1 lira coin to replace the 1 lira note? Has this started happening already? Q43 08:44, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
I highly object calling it 'de facto independent' when it's de facto ruled by Turkey. Same for say Artzakh (Nagorno-Karabakh). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.148.152.61 ( talk) 20:39, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
Wrong. TRNC is an independent state with its own president, government, parlement, police force, legal system, customs...etc. Turkey recognizes TRNC but does not rule it, as you claim. Turkey has troops in TRNC to prevent Greek invasion. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.164.120.144 ( talk) 20:39, 1 January 2009 (UTC)
I'm Ayu from Jakarta,Indonesia..I went to turki in 2000, and whwn i came back i still had 10,000,000 lira (old lira) Unfortunately I dont have any information at all about the cahnges or the remove of 6 zeroes in new lira. What i need to know is how about my old lira? It used to be a large amount, how about the value? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 125.161.128.68 ( talk) 20:54, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
People have been inserting in the infobox that it's used unofficially in northern Iraq, Syria, and Nakhchevan. Can we please have some evidence backing this up? -- Arwel Parry (talk) 09:14, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: article moved to Revaluation of the Turkish Lira Armbrust, B.Ed. Let's talk about my edits? 20:17, 13 March 2012 (UTC)
Turkish new lira → Revaluation of the Turkish Lira – Since there is no longer any difference between New Lira and just Lira, this article should be retitled to detail the currency's revaluation. Relisted. Favonian ( talk) 10:14, 6 March 2012 (UTC). D O N D E groovily Talk to me 05:08, 28 February 2012 (UTC)
Clearly, by the time the six zero removal happened, a YTL was worth 1,000,000 TL, so how can a dollar be worth 1.65 TL in 2001? The ratio is dropping after 1980 where it makes its 10,000 peak, whereas it should keep increasing until it reaches a point where approximately 1,650,000 TL = 1 dollar, not 1.65 TL = 1 dollar, in 2001, after which that becomes 1,350,000 TL = 1 dollar i.e. 1.35 YTL = 1 dollar in 2004.
Am I missing something? 88.243.203.9 ( talk) 13:02, 10 July 2015 (UTC)
Information in Revaluation of the Turkish Lira article completely contradicts information provided in Turkish lira article, as for USD-TRY exchange rate for 1980. This article claims that exchange rate was 1 USD = 10.000 TRY while Turkish lira claims, that it was merely 1 USD = 90 TRY, 110 times less. Which information is correct? Trejder ( talk) 19:12, 11 August 2016 (UTC)
The article is now named Revaluation of the Turkish lira. But currencies, also obsolete ones, are named after the currencty itself: "New Turkish lira" then. I suggest to consider renaming. Does not look like WP:disambiguation is needed (even then, to do by ()-brackets not by misnaming). DePiep ( talk) 10:34, 8 October 2022 (UTC)
