Only because in 2003 they arbitrarily dropped six zeros off the end to avoid looking like another Zimbabwe!

Otherwise it would be:
1.00 EUR = 2,103,260 TRY

Good grief Epik! That's scraping the barrel a bit isn't it? lol!

Lots of countries have done the same in the past. You were wrong about the conversion rate of Turkish Lira to the Euro. Just get over it!

No. Look them up for yourself. You've had about 7 yrs to have discovered the exchange rate of the Turkish Lira - so I expect it to take you some time!

Do you ever travel anywhere?
