I picked up a 1990 1000 Turkish Lira coin in rejects; anybody know what it's made of or anything about it?

By 1997 a 50,000 lira was a 1.5g Al coin.
Scary!

If I have the gift of prophesy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to move mountains but do not have love I am nothing. And if I give all my possessions to feed the poor, and if I surrender my body to be burned but do not have love it profits me nothing.

A few years back (maybe 8 years) I picked up and framed a $1 million note while visiting Turkey. Figured I should frame my first million It was worth a buck back then... not sure today.

The new Lira is reasonably strong. Maybe they learned their lesson. Current rate is $1 USD = 1.57190 TRY

I did go to E
I did visit Ephesus as well as Istanbal, Thermal, Capadosia, and Pergomam (spelling). It was a fast moving self directed trip. The Turkish people I met were super helpful and friendly. One guy I stopped on the street for directions actually walked me three block to the hotel I was trying to find.
One of the highlights was visiting the theater where Paul's friends were dragged before the mob and reading the story right where it happened. I also covertly entered the ruins of St John's church where legend says John is buried under the former alter. The The temple of Artemis in Ephesus is just a ruin now, but it was a very large structure in it's day.
The rock houses of Cappadocia were amazing too: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cappadocia
