About Turkish Lira ()

The Turkish Lira (TRY, ISO 4217 code 949, symbol ₺) is the official currency of the Republic of Türkiye (Turkey) and Northern Cyprus, issued by the Central Bank of the Republic of Türkiye (CBRT, est. 1930). Subdivided into 100 kuruş. Banknotes: ₺5, ₺10, ₺20, ₺50, ₺100, ₺200 (the current 'E-9 Emission' series introduced 2009 features Atatürk on all denominations + scientific/cultural figures on the reverse — Mehmet Akif Ersoy, Cahit Arf, Ahmet Yesevi, Itri, Ohanesyan, Aşık Veysel, Fatma Aliye); coins: 1 kr, 5 kr, 10 kr, 25 kr, 50 kr, ₺1. Türkiye removed six zeros from its currency on January 1, 2005 — 'New Turkish Lira' (Yeni Türk Lirası, YTL) at 1 new = 1,000,000 old, simply renamed back to 'Türk Lirası' (TL/TRY) on January 1, 2009. Türkiye has experienced repeated severe currency crises — the 2018 lira crisis, the 2021 'lira shock' under President Erdoğan's unorthodox 'rate cuts cure inflation' theory, and ongoing inflation crisis (peak ~85% in October 2022, ~64% in May 2024 per TÜİK). The CBRT abandoned heterodox policies under Mehmet Şimşek + Hafize Erkan in June 2023.

About Chinese Yuan (¥)

The Chinese Yuan Renminbi (CNY, ISO 4217 code 156, symbol ¥; also abbreviated RMB) is the official currency of the People's Republic of China, issued by the People's Bank of China (PBoC, est. 1948). 'Yuan' is the unit; 'Renminbi' is the currency's official name ('People's Currency'). Subdivided into 10 jiao or 100 fen. Banknotes: ¥1, ¥5, ¥10, ¥20, ¥50, ¥100 (Mao Zedong portrait on all denominations since 1999); coins: ¥0.10, ¥0.50, ¥1. Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan have separate currencies (HKD, MOP, TWD). CNY is a managed-float currency — PBoC sets a daily reference rate (the 'fix') against USD and allows ±2% intraday movement. CNY achieved Special Drawing Rights (SDR) inclusion October 2016 (10.92% weighting, replacing portions of EUR + GBP weight). CNY is the world's 5th-largest reserve currency (~2.4% of global FX reserves per IMF COFER 2024) but use is constrained by capital controls. PBoC's e-CNY (Digital Currency Electronic Payment, DC/EP) CBDC has the world's largest CBDC user base (~260M wallets).
