By now you should all have come into contact with the new Turkish money, although that may not include the new 200YTL. 

As ever Atatürk features on one side and this time he is smiling, but who are the people on the other side of the notes?

We didn’t know either – and would like to thank David Groom for prompting us to find out.

There are six new notes and each of them features a person who was the ‘first’ in their field in the Turkish world. 

We’ll introduce you to them in a series of articles starting soon – watch this space then you can show off your new knowledge next time a new note comes out of someone’s wallet.
