Merger[edit]

I merged Turkish Kuruş into this article as they covered the same ground. Two comments: First, there were no inline citations in either article, so I am not certain that the text here is correct. Perhaps someone with expertise can review this. Second, I was left with the following text from the Turkish Kuruş article: "Originally a large silver coin, in the mid 1800s its value had depreciated to the point where it circulated as both a large copper coin (as 40 para) and a very small silver one as well." I'm not certain where this should go, if at all. Ecphora (talk) 03:27, 29 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Explanation of the term "piastre"[edit]

References to "Ottoman Turkish piastre" are redirected here, but there was no explanation of the word "piastre". I copied the sentence "In European languages, the kuruş was known as the piastre" from the page Ottoman lira. —Coroboy (talk) 04:53, 27 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Symbol[edit]

Is there a standard symbol for a kuruş, analogous to the “¢”? JDAWiseman (talk) 13:24, 4 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
