[Sunting] Sejarah

Owing to the hyperinflation experienced in Turkey from the 1970s through to the 1990s, the Turkish lira experienced severe depreciation in value. From an average of 9 lira per U.S. dollar in the late 1960s, the currency came to trade at approximately 1.65 million per U.S. dollar in late 2001.

Perdana Menteri Recep Tayyip Erdoğan menggelar masalah inflasi ini suatu "keaiban nasional".

Walaupun masalah inflasi ini telah berkurangan, parlimen Turki Although it has since recovered somewhat, the Turkish Parliament passed a law in late December 2004 which allows for the removal of six zeroes from the currency, and the creation of the new Turkish lira.

Kadar pertukaran pada 1 Januari 2005:

  • USD 1.00 = TRL 1,325,700.00 = TRY 1.3257
  • EUR 1.00 = TRL 1,798,179.00 = TRY 1.79818
  • TRY 1.00 = USD 0.75432
  • TRY 1.00 = EUR 0.55612

The introduction of the New Turkish Lira has been accompanied by two new banknotes which did not have equivalents in the old system: the 100 and 50 YTL.

With the re-valuation of the old Turkish lira, the Romanian leu (to be revalued in July 2005) will become the world's least valued currency unit.

In the past, other countries have also revalued their currency. A similar case to the Turkish is the Peruvian Nuevo Sol (new sun), that replaced in 1991 one million Inti (sun in Quechua); the Inti itself had replaced the Sol de Oro (Gold sun) in 1985 in a 100-1 rate. Argentina has changed many different versions of its Peso since the early 1970. Another case: India revalued the rupee from a pound sterling–pegged system to a gold standard in 1966. Old coinage was also phased out.
