Turkish Lira

The currency used in Turkey is the Turkish lira (TRY). The new Turkish lira was introduced in January 2005, after dropping six zeros from the old lira due to inflation.

Asia

Asia is the largest and most populous continent, covering about 30% of the Earth’s land area and home to more than 4.7 billion people, roughly 60% of the global population. It is traditionally divided into several regions, each with distinct cultures, languages, and historical influences. Known for its vast diversity, Asia is home to major world economies like China, India, and Japan, as well as iconic landmarks such as the Great Wall of China, the Taj Mahal, and the Arabian Desert, while also being a centre of innovation, rich traditions, and some of the oldest continuous civilisations on Earth.
