Turkish Currency FAQs

Anything else on your mind about Turkish money or exchanging it? Don’t hesitate to reach out to us. Our customer service team is here to answer any questions and help make your foreign currency exchange transactions as transparent and smooth as possible.

Where Is Turkish Money Used?
The Turkish Lira (TRY, symbol: ₺) is the official currency of Turkey and is also used in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus. It is issued and regulated by the Central Bank of the Republic of Turkey, which prints all Turkish lira banknotes and manages exchange rate policies.

Banknotes come in denominations of 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, and 200 TRY, while coins (kurus and lira) cover smaller values. The Central Bank’s policies directly affect the value of the Turkish Lira against other currencies through daily exchange rates.
What Is the Best Place to Buy Turkish Lira?
The best place to purchase Turkish Lira is through a trusted online foreign exchange service like US First Exchange. Unlike airport kiosks that add high fees, we provide competitive exchange rates, insured delivery, and secure payments. Buying Turkish currency online ensures you get the best value and authentic banknotes every time.
How Much is $100 US in Turkey?
As of the latest rate, $100 USD is worth around 4,130 TRY based on the mid-market rate. Exchange rates fluctuate daily, so the exact amount depends on the provider and timing. Sign up for our exchange rate alerts to lock in the most favorable Turkish Lira exchange rates.
Is It Better to Buy Lira in Turkey?
It’s generally better to buy Turkish Lira before you travel. Local kiosks often offer poor rates and high fees for tourists. Ordering online from a licensed exchange platform lets you secure a better rate, authentic notes, and stress-free delivery.
Where to Sell Old Turkish Lira Banknotes?
Old Turkish Lira (TRL) banknotes withdrawn during redenomination are no longer legal tender, but you can still sell them as collectibles (e.g. on eBay) or to specialized currency buyers. For current Turkish banknotes, you can always buy or sell them online at US First Exchange, and we’ll deliver verified TRY notes safely to your doorstep within 24–48 hours.
