土耳其一里拉硬幣現在的生產成本高於其價值

據一位反對派議員稱，生產 1 里拉硬幣的成本已達到 3.16 土耳其里拉（0.09 美元）。 Deniz Demir (@demirdenizchp) 表示，面值為 50 庫魯斯（土耳其語“分”，庫魯斯發音為“kurush”）和 25 庫魯斯硬幣的生產成本目前分別為 2.63 土耳其里拉和 1.86 土耳其里拉，共和人民黨(CHP) 議員。

Turkish opposition lawmaker reveals that producing a one-lira coin now costs TRY 3.16 ($0.09).

土耳其反對派議員透露，現在生產一枚 1 里拉硬幣的成本為 3.16 土耳其里拉（0.09 美元）。

Deniz Demir (@demirdenizchp), an MP from the Republican People’s Party (CHP), said that the production cost for the coins carrying values of 50 kurus (the Turkish "cent", the kurus is pronounced as "kurush") and 25 kurus, now stood at TRY 2.63 and TRY 1.86, respectively.

共和人民黨 (CHP) 議員 Deniz Demir (@demirdenizchp) 表示，面值為 50 庫魯斯（土耳其語“分”，庫魯斯發音為“kurush”）和 25 庫魯斯的硬幣的生產成本，目前分別為2.63 土耳其里拉和1.86 土耳其里拉。

Some scrap dealers continue to benefit from the arbitrage by melting down Turkish coins, noted Demir.

德米爾指出，一些廢品經銷商繼續透過熔化土耳其硬幣從套利中受益。

The coins were next-to-useless given that the price of a loaf of bread was approaching TRY 15, noted the MP.

這位議員指出，考慮到一條麵包的價格接近 15 土耳其里拉，這些硬幣幾乎毫無用處。

Hyperinflation kills value

惡性通膨扼殺價值

Due to the hyperinflationary environment that has taken hold in Turkey across recent years, banknotes and coins in circulation have lost significant value. Turkey’s president, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, meanwhile, avoids calls for larger banknotes and coins.

由於近年來土耳其的惡性通貨膨脹環境，流通中的紙幣和硬幣已大幅貶值。同時，土耳其總統雷傑普·塔伊普·艾爾多安則避免呼籲發行更大的紙幣和硬幣。

Erdogan showed his pride when the public toilet fee was cut to one lira from one million lira after he removed six zeroes from lira values in 2005. However, the actual fee currently stands at TRY 3.16, with Erdogan subsidising TRY 2.16 to achieve TRY 1, according to calculations by Demir.

2005年，他把里拉的價值去掉了6個零，公共廁所的費用從100萬里拉降至1里拉，埃爾多安對此感到自豪。安補貼2.16土耳其里拉以實現1土耳其里拉，根據德米爾的計算。

It was in 2021 that the nominal value of Turkish lira coins fell below their scrap value. In 2023, Turkey’s state mint Darphane reduced the weight of the coins. Turks subsequently complained that automats would not accept the new coins.

2021年，土耳其里拉硬幣的面值跌破了廢品價值。 2023 年，土耳其國家造幣廠 Darphane 減輕了硬幣的重量。土耳其人隨後抱怨自動販賣機不接受新硬幣。

The weight of one lira coins fell to 6.6 grams from 8.2 grams and the weight of a 50-kurus coin fell to 5.5 grams from 6.8 grams.

1 里拉硬幣的重量從 8.2 克降至 6.6 克，50 庫魯硬幣的重量從 6.8 克降至 5.5 克。

The one-lira coin is 75% copper, 15% nickel and 10% zinc. Previously, it was 81% copper, 4% nickel and 15% zinc.

一里拉硬幣的成分為 75% 銅、15% 鎳和 10% 鋅。此前，其成分為 81% 銅、4% 鎳和 15% 鋅。

In October 2023, Darphane produced 100mn five-lira coins to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Republic of Turkey.

2023年10月，達法尼發行了1億枚五里拉硬幣，以紀念土耳其共和國成立100週年。

In June 2024, Darphane introduced ordinary five-lira coins.

2024 年 6 月，達法恩推出了普通的五里拉硬幣。

Deaf to calls

對電話充耳不聞

Calls for bigger banknotes are, meanwhile, totally ignored by the authorities. In November, local business daily Ekonomi reported that with consumers harrassed by hyperinflation, Turkish bankers were having to refill ATM machines three times a day with 100 and 200-lira banknotes.

同時，當局完全忽視了增加紙幣發行量的呼籲。 11 月，當地商業日報 Ekonomi 報告稱，由於消費者受到惡性通貨膨脹的困擾，土耳其銀行家不得不每天向 ATM 機補充 3 次 100 里拉和 200 里拉的紙幣。

At the Grand Bazaar in Istanbul, heavy-duty trolleys and makeshift suitcases line the alleys outside foreign-exchange shops, readied for the transport of increasing volumes of banknotes required to trade.

在伊斯坦堡的大巴扎，重型手推車和臨時手提箱排列在外匯商店外的小巷裡，準備運輸交易所需的越來越多的紙幣。

In October, Omer Mert, the general manager of small-cap Fibabanka, told BloombergHT during a televised interview that ATM machines often broke down due to the sheer volume of work they must endure in counting out money.

10 月，小型股 Fibabanka 總經理 Omer Mert 在一次電視採訪中告訴 BloombergHT，ATM 機經常因點鈔時工作量過大而出現故障。

As of October, 81.3% of the banknotes in circulation in Turkey were 200-lira, the largest available banknote. The figure stood at 80.4% in September.

截至 10 月，土耳其流通的紙幣中 81.3% 是 200 里拉，這是最大的紙幣。 9月這一數字為80.4%。
