| Additional information |
The 2009 reissue of the 50 Kuruş came after Turkey's sweeping redenomination of 2005, which replaced the catastrophically inflated Old Turkish Lira — at its worst requiring over 1.5 million lira to equal a single US dollar — with the New Turkish Lira at a ratio of 1,000,000 to one. By 2009, the "New" designation was quietly dropped, and these coins circulated simply as Turkish Lira and Kuruş, a small but deliberate signal that the country had put the inflationary decades firmly behind it.
