土耳其一里拉硬币现在的生产成本高于其价值

据一位反对派议员称，生产 1 里拉硬币的成本已达到 3.16 土耳其里拉（0.09 美元）。 Deniz Demir (@demirdenizchp) 表示，面值为 50 库鲁斯（土耳其语“分”，库鲁斯发音为“kurush”）和 25 库鲁斯硬币的生产成本目前分别为 2.63 土耳其里拉和 1.86 土耳其里拉，共和人民党 (CHP) 议员。

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

土耳其反对派议员透露，现在生产一枚 1 里拉硬币的成本为 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.

共和人民党 (CHP) 议员 Deniz Demir (@demirdenizchp) 表示，面值为 50 库鲁斯（土耳其语“分”，库鲁斯发音为“kurush”）和 25 库鲁斯的硬币的生产成本，目前分别为 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.

德米尔指出，一些废品经销商继续通过熔化土耳其硬币从套利中受益。

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

这位议员指出，考虑到一条面包的价格接近 15 土耳其里拉，这些硬币几乎毫无用处。

Hyperinflation kills value

恶性通货膨胀扼杀价值

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.

由于近年来土耳其的恶性通货膨胀环境，流通中的纸币和硬币已大幅贬值。与此同时，土耳其总统雷杰普·塔伊普·埃尔多安则避免呼吁发行更大的纸币和硬币。

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，他把里拉的价值去掉了6个零，公共厕所的费用从100万里拉降至1里拉，埃尔多安对此感到自豪。然而，目前的实际费用为3.16土耳其里拉，埃尔多安补贴2.16土耳其里拉以实现1土耳其里拉，根据德米尔的计算。

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，土耳其里拉硬币的面值跌破了废品价值。 2023 年，土耳其国家造币厂 Darphane 减轻了硬币的重量。土耳其人随后抱怨自动售货机不接受新硬币。

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 里拉硬币的重量从 8.2 克降至 6.6 克，50 库鲁硬币的重量从 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.

一里拉硬币的成分为 75% 铜、15% 镍和 10% 锌。此前，其成分为 81% 铜、4% 镍和 15% 锌。

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，达法恩铸造了1亿枚五里拉硬币，以纪念土耳其共和国成立100周年。

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

2024 年 6 月，达法恩推出了普通的五里拉硬币。

Deaf to calls

对电话充耳不闻

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.

与此同时，当局完全忽视了增加纸币发行量的呼吁。 11 月，当地商业日报 Ekonomi 报道称，由于消费者受到恶性通货膨胀的困扰，土耳其银行家不得不每天向 ATM 机补充 3 次 100 里拉和 200 里拉的纸币。

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.

在伊斯坦布尔的大巴扎，重型手推车和临时手提箱排列在外汇商店外的小巷里，准备运输交易所需的越来越多的纸币。

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，小盘股 Fibabanka 总经理奥马尔·默特 (Omer Mert) 在一次电视采访中告诉 BloombergHT，ATM 机经常因点钞时工作量过大而出现故障。

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，土耳其流通的纸币中 81.3% 是 200 里拉，这是最大的纸币。 9月份这一数字为80.4%。
