[Katiehutchinson_1991]

yeah you can still use them until 1st january 2010
after that they are no longer acceptable
i still have a lot of currency from last year that i plan to use this year
the notes dont look much different they are just smaller now

Thanks for the replys thats ok then only about 60 lira but every little helps buy a few more efes,i got a few lira today and was surprised how small they are now.i have read not to accept the older notes in change but insist on the new notes

[Katiehutchinson_1991]

yeah depends if you plan to use the change you get this year
if you dont then dont accept them cause they wont be of any use to next year

Hi Diesel, New notes were issued this year which are slightly smaller in size to the pre-2009 notes.You were able to use both types of notes this year but in 2010 only the new ones will be in use.

This is a reminder to spend all your old style notes and don't save them for next year.
