TURKEY MILLIONS OF LIRA SET OF 3

In December 2003 the Turkish parliament approved a redenomination of the country’s currency. This involved the removal of six zeros from the Turkish lira, and the creation of a new currency, which was introduced on January 1, 2005. The value of the lira had deteriorated to such an extent that the Guinness Book of Records named the Turkish lira as the world’s least valuable currency in 1995-1996, and then again between 1999 and 2004. We have put together a set of these uncirculated high denomination coins with a face value of 500,000, 750,000 and 1,000,000 lira dated 2002, which means they would have been worth just over $1 USD at the time.
