We'll just wait to see the public reaction, but not everyone is pleased so far.

Turkish Lira had a fix back on 2005, when the New Turkish Lira was introduced, replacing 1.000.000 (one million)Turkish Lira.

Nice design, but you know it isn't a real coin don't you?

And here is today's batch






























Hope you don't mind the show-off 

These are my latest:

Then the guy that spent that 2 Euro in Turkey had no idea of the different design of the reverse.

The Euro coin is off the circulation. Hence the fingerprints.

I bought it by the face value

Turkey has also released a commemorative coin with the same place ;Uzgan.

Denmark and Sweden have decided to keep their own currencies, the rest are willing to join Eurozone but need to meet some criteria first. .

I'really liked the design.

Is it going to be in circulation as well?

Ist one is 10 Para, not Arabic but an Ottoman coin.
I can't read the date but this type is struck between 1900 and 1904 during the reign of Abdul Hamid II.

Can't help you about the second one though

The hair is wawy instead of curly, and the coin lady is a bit slimmer with longer lips.
However it's definately nicely done, since the coin engraver only has light and shadow.
