Money Talks: Turkish-Islamic Synthesis on Banknotes of Turkey
Journal Title: Moment Dergi - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Banknotes carry traces from both histories and policies of states. This study deals with the banknotes issued in 1980 to today and claims that these banknotes have had political messages. In this respect, Turkish-Islamic Synthesis and its symbolization of banknotes is the main point of this study. Turkish-Islamic Synthesis emerged in the 1960s and evolved to a state policy after the military coup in 1980. It still exists under AKP rule in the 2000s. This maintenance can be traced in design of the banknotes, which issued during military coup period and continued during AKP rule.
