Turkish lira
In the transitional period between 1 January 2005 and 31 December 2008, the second Turkish lira was officially called "new Turkish lira" in Turkey. Banknotes, referred to by the Central Bank as the "E-8 Emission Group", were introduced in 2005 in denominations of 1, 5, 10, 20, 50, and 100 new Turkish lira. Whilst the lower four denominations replaced older notes and used very similar designs, the 50 and 100 new Turkish lira notes did not have equivalents in the old currency. All notes show portraits of "Mustafa Kemal Atatürk" from different points of his life and images of various historical and otherwise important buildings and places in Turkey.
