Interesting stuff, particularly the new 10 Lira note. Who would have thought Dennis Norden would be popular in Turkey too.

A Tenner to anyone who can name the people on the new notes.

Does that mean the old ones will be no good next year ? We've still got about 35Ytl in the drawer.

Since I have just spent a lot of time photograhing Uchisar castle and the three peris outside Urgup so that my photos closely match the imprints on the reverse of the 50 YTL note I resent their replacement with a human visage - however famous the model. Is all this putting faces on the reverse of banknotes a dastardly AKP plot to downgrade Ataturk's portrait on the other side of the notes?

and apparently they will choose a picture of Atatürk with a smiling face.    Just to add to AOK's post, as he wrote Itri.. this is composer Buhurizade Itri, and poet Yunus Emre on the 200 TL note.
