By the early 1980s, Turkey was printing 100 Lira notes against a backdrop of severe inflation that would eventually render the denomination nearly worthless — within a decade, a 100 Lira note couldn't buy a glass of tea. The Central Bank's own printing facility in Ankara had been producing domestic issues since 1955, ending reliance on foreign printers that had supplied Turkey through much of the early Republican period.
The P#194 series was short-lived by design, superseded as inflation forced rapid denomination escalation through the late 1980s and 1990s.
