100 000 Lira

By the mid-1990s, Turkish inflation had eroded the lira so thoroughly that 100,000 was a workaday denomination rather than a large-value note. The Central Bank's own printing works in Ankara — established in 1955 specifically to reduce dependence on foreign printers — produced this series entirely in-house, which kept procurement costs down but also meant the security feature package remained relatively modest: a watermark, and little else by way of machine-readable or thread-based protection.

The note was superseded not by a new series but by a currency redenomination process that culminated in the 2005 introduction of the New Turkish Lira, which lopped six zeros off every denomination.
