Answer:
There are 1,000,000 old lira (YTL) in 1 New Turkish lira, so your old lira have little money value, just curiosity value. (1 New Turkish lira is worth (March 2009) about US$0.75.)
Any remaining old lira has to be converted at either the Turkish Central Bank or T.C. Ziraat Bank branches, at the rate of 1 million old lira = 1 new lira
