Turkish 20,000 Lira Banknote 1995 – Atatürk & Ankara inflation relic

1995 . Turkey was waltzing with hyperinflation, and this 20,000 Lira note was one of its many offspring. On the front: Atatürk, stoic, possibly whispering “I didn’t sign up for this.” On the back: the Central Bank HQ in Ankara, likely sobbing quietly. In 2005, Turkey chopped off six zeros. Yes, six. This note went from millionaire status to historical footnote. Today, it’s worthless as currency but priceless as a relic of economic chaos. Perfect for collectors, inflation romantics, and anyone who enjoys banknotes with more trauma than value.
