Turkish Money

If you have already visited Turkey, you must have come across its amazing money. Indeed Turkish money does take your breath away with all its zeroes. It does sound incredulous too that you buy food that costs 2 million Turkish Lira, gives you that jittery kind of feeling. Well no more, because the Turkish government has recently got rid of all the zeroes in the money and reintroduced it as the YTL or the Yeni Turkish Lira. Money in Turkey is called the 'para'.

Talking of inflation, even a hundred years ago, one Ottoman Turkish lira was equated to USD5. Whereas at present one Yeni Turkish Lira is, equal to 0.75 US Dollars!
