| That's a point - I have some YTL notes from 2008 when I left.
Are they still usable, or have they been replaced? |

| YTL is still legal currency until the end of this year
The old TL I think the Central Bank of the TRNC or Turkey (wherever they are) will change them |

| Had visitors over in Sept and they had lots of the old YTL notes, spent them in the local shops without a problem. In fact I still get the odd 5 or 10 YTL note in change and just don't bother about it. As for the coins, they will be around for a while yet I think, everyone uses them without even knowing it!
However, if you try and change the old notes at the money changers you will get a large NO and be told they are no longer legal tender. Central Bank of TRNC will change them for you right up to last day of December this year. |
