The old turkish lira as you have got,is now no good.
Basically they have knocked the last three noughts of the end.
So what you have would now be a 500 note.
Was there in September,and it's not as confusing now with the new lira.

It's not that the old Turkish Lira notes are valueless. Rather, they're inconvenient: they may be exchanged for YTL only at Turkish Central Bank (TC Merkez Bankasi) offices or, in the absence of a Central Bank office, at a TC Ziraat Bankasi office, until December 31, 2016.
If you don't do that, you'll probably have to find some other sucker to accept them, and it won't be a Turk.
YTL1.00 is equal to (old) TL1,000,000. In other words, a million old liras becomes one new lira. The new YTL notes...

1,000,000 becomes 1 lira.
so thats about 15p.
great!

its about 3 new turkish lira to the £.
1 new Turkish Lira is 1,000,000 old Turkish Lira's.
I'm in Cyprus and sometimes shop over in the northern Turkish occupied side and this is obviously the currency. most shops display both old and new.
As already stated, your 500,000 Turkish Lira note is worth about 15-20p.
