How do you tell if Turkish lira is old or new?

To distinguish between old and new Turkish lira, look for the currency notes and coins labeled as "New Turkish Lira" (Yeni Türk Lirası), which were introduced in 2005 after a revaluation. The old lira (Türk Lirası) has been phased out and is no longer in circulation, but if you encounter it, it will have a different design and higher denomination values expressed in millions. Additionally, the old notes are typically more worn and may have a more outdated appearance. Always check for the year of issue, as any currency issued before 2005 is considered old.
