The Ottoman lira was the currency of Ottoman Empire between 1844[citation needed] and 29 October 1923[citation needed]. It replaced the kuruş as the principal unit of currency with the kuruş continuing to circulate as a subdivision of the lira with 100 kuruş = 1 lira. The para also continued to be used with 40 para = 1 kuruş. Until the 1930s the Arabic script was used on Turkish coins and banknotes with پاره for para غروش for kuruş and ليرا for lira (تورك ليراسي for Turkish lira).
