The Mint, which is affiliated with the Ministry of Treasury and Finance, has reissued coins that have not been released into circulation for a while due to a lack of production.

"CLAIMS THAT 50 KURUŞ WILL NOT BE MINTED" HAVE BEEN DISPROVEN
Claims in some publications that "50 kuruş will not be minted due to increased costs" have been denied by sources. According to the Mint's data, 990,000 pieces of 50 kuruş were minted in September. Thus, in September, a total of 54 million 210 thousand lira worth of small change coins were minted.
FALSE CLAIMS ARE CIRCULATING
Claims that the production of coins has stopped or will stop due to rising costs occasionally arise. However, the latest data release has shown that all these claims are false and baseless, and that they should not be taken seriously.
