The Kurus is a subunit of the Turkish Lira, the official currency of Turkey. One Kurus is equal to one-hundredth of a Lira, making it similar to cents in other currencies. The term "Kurus" is derived from the Arabic word for "coin," reflecting its historical significance in trade and commerce. In everyday transactions, the Kurus is used primarily in pricing items, especially in smaller denominations. Coins are available in various denominations, including 1, 5, 10, 25, 50, and 100 Kurus. While the Kurus is less commonly used in larger transactions, it remains an essential part of the Turkish monetary system.
