new currencies
As of January 1, 2005 there are two new currency changes coming into effect.
I suspect this will reflect in new stamp issues for Madagascar and Turkey. (1) Madagascar As you know there were 2 currencies. 5 Malagasy Francs(MGF) = 1 Ariary(MGA). Malagasy Franc codes = MGF 450 and Malagasy Ariary codes = MGA 969 It appears that the plan is to drop the franc and only use the Ariary (MGA). As of 2005.01.01 - 1796.4 Ariarys (MGA) = $1.00 USD ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- (2) Turkey On 2005.01.01, the old Turkish Lira was revalued by 1 Million to 1 new Lira. I suspect that we will now see stamps in Kurus again. (100 Kurus = 1 Lira) old Lira codes = TRL 792 and new Lira codes = TRY 949 As of 2005.01.01 - 1.36 new Lira (TRY) = $1.00 USD Blair Stannard |

As a matter of interest, whilst I understand, for example, TRL, what is the figure 792 that accompanies it? Best regards, Roger |

The former are in almost everyday use (since most of them are fairly intuitive), but not so the latter, at least in the circles in which I move. Regards, Roger |
