I remember when I was stationed in Turkey the Lira rate was around 7000TL - $1. When I left 15 months later it was close to 20,000TL - $1. Five or six years later I saw in the news it was over 1 million TL to the dollar.
When I would buy stuff downtown everyone wanted dollars - they would give good discounts because they knew they would end up with more TL when (if) they exchanged it. Their currency was crap. At some point they did devalue it though.
