A deeper look at the Turkish Lira
The lira has been in circulation in various forms since the Ottoman Empire. First, known as the Ottoman lira, lasted for just under 80 years before being replaced by the first Turkish lira, which was introduced in 1923. Following a redenomination in 2005, the second Turkish lira was brought into circulation in 2005.

Phillip SoppittEasy Currency
It was easy to order foreign currency and the ability to have it delivered to home or a post office is great. The only downside was receiving high demonination currency when you are always looking for smaller denominations to use when you first arrive in a new city. Apart from that Travelex have always provided a good service.

Steve WilliamsVery satisfied customer!
As always, cash was ready when forecast. No commission buying online and always pleasant helpful staff when collecting currency. I appreciate the good spread of useful denominations rather than all high value notes. Thank you..

I placed my order quite late & phoned to see the collection time - the girl was extremely helpful & processed my order online asap, with a follow up phone call.

All went very well with our transaction except for an email titled money ready for collection - but when you read the email, the money was NOT ready for several days - a bit of a contradiction.

Travelex were great would always tell family and friends how easy it was, I did have a problem paying with my credit card though I had no idea it would be deemed as a cash advance on my card and I was charged a further $95 which upset me terribly as I had the funds in my bank account and could have used my Debit card but I was TOTALLY unaware and nothing during the transaction came up to inform me of this

I always use Travelex to buy foreign currency online using my own money and then have it delivered to a local store so I can pick it up. This service is hassle free and very convenient.
Mark DavisEasy to use and see all the prices
Easy to use and see all the prices, pick up was easy and quick.
Roma G PressWorks well
Online request and airport pickup went without a hitch. The only thing I would like to see added is the option to request currency denominations. That is, smaller value notes.
