1947 Turkish 50 Kurus!

My one and only silver Turkish coin and I got it for a steal. It's metal value is worth over 3 times what I bought it for. Sadly it is only worth metal value in this shape and if silver continues to drop, it may only be worth the $0.50 I bought it for. It's from the time before Turkey's economy was plagued with inflation and practically destroyed, but even then it was a small coin with not a lot of silver. It's not a lot of design either and I can't help but feel the coin was rushed or no one really cared. Anyway it's got a nice 7 in the date and it was an OK bargain.

2010 Turkey 10 Kurus

Notice how I didn't put an exclamation mark (!) at the end of the title today. This is because I made this post once before and it was never saved and lost. So instead of the very long post I was going to have ready today I will leave you with this Wikipedia article on the Turkish Lira.

NOTE: I seem to be having some trouble with even this post. I wonder if this coin is bad luck or if my internet isn't working as well as it should. Also, today is the last day for 10 cent coins. 20 cent coins would start tomorrow, but I've decided to show off some change finds and buys that I've accumulated and haven't showed.
