The gold-colored 25 kuruş coins, which are still in circulation but no longer produced, have been listed for thousands of lira on advertisement sites. The person who listed the 25 kuruş coin for 90,000 TL stated that they are open to trading for an iPhone 16.
Gold-colored 25 kuruş coins that are in circulation but have ceased production are being sold on online advertisement sites at prices thousands of times their actual value. Some listings show that these coins are priced up to 90,000 lira.
LUXURY PHONE TRADE OFFERS
One of the striking details in the listings was the trade negotiations that took place. While some users requested up to 90,000 lira for 25 kuruş, trade offers involving high-end mobile phones like the iPhone 15 Pro Max came to the fore. In fact, some listing owners expressed their willingness to trade for an iPhone 16 in exchange for two 25 kuruş coins.
NOT GOLD, BUT BRASS
The claims that these coins are "gold" do not reflect the truth. It is known that the gold-colored part of the 25 kuruş coins minted in 2023, one silver and the other gold-colored, is entirely made of brass. Experts emphasize that viewing these coins as an investment tool is misleading and that neither their raw material nor their legal value can justify the high prices in the listings.
