The oldest Turkish paper currency issued by Turkey dates back to the Republican era in 1927, after the declaration of the Republic on January 12, 1926, but it was printed in the Ottoman letters and then printed again in Latin letters in 1937.
Since then, 120 different classes of banknotes have entered the Turkish market in 9 issues so far, as the first paper edition was in London in 1927, as it was in the category of 5, 10, 50 and 100 TL, where it was printed in Ottoman letters, and these currencies were traded until a year 1939.

In 1947 new classes of the Turkish lira were printed in the United States of America, and the piasters categories were withdrawn from circulation and the smallest currency coin until then was offered from the 2.5 lira category.

In 1966, the 2.5 class coin was withdrawn from circulation and new currencies were printed in the same categories with new designs, and the 1000 lira remained the largest category at that time.
During the period between 1980 and 1994 due to the deterioration of the Turkish economy, new editions of the category 10, 20 thousand, 50 thousand and 250 thousand were issued.
In 1995 the categories of 5 thousand and 10 thousand liras were withdrawn and a category of 1 million Turkish liras was issued.
