Current Currency in Turkey

The negotiations between the EU and Turkey are at a standstill. And not all EU countries use the euro. The official currency of Turkey continues to be the lira.

It's unlikely that Turkey will ever join the EU so for the foreseeable future they will use the Lira. Be aware that inflation remains very high and the country is considered a hyperinflationary economy with prices reflecting this.

EDIT, thank you Dutch_Traveler, it is indeed a twisted mess.

Mr E; Your list above is not complete.
Andorra, Monaco, San Marino and Vatican City are also not EU members, but the Euro is their official currency and they even have the right to mint their own euro coins.

Corrected, I think.

AND, there are places on the North American and South American continent that are in the Eurozone, as well as Africa.

then there is Ireland, is on the Euro, in the Eurozone, not in Schengen, but is in the CTA, and with no EU/UK border controls at Northern Ireland

And is Iceland really with land area within continent of Europe? I know, it's important that they are in Schengen so that one can without interruption drive across their borders...

I think Iceland is a stretch too. I would put them with Pacific Islands.

Did you know (of course you will say yes) that there are 2 French islands off the coast of Canada? Two Spanish cities in Africa? Facinating what i earn on this forum.
