What is White Dollar in Turkey?

 Introduction: Why has the topic of «White Dollar» become important in Turkey?

The US dollar has always been one of the most commonly used currencies for Iranians in Turkey.
However, since the beginning of the year 2025, and after a significant amount of counterfeit dollar bills entered the Turkish market,
banks and exchanges in this country adopted stricter policies regarding the acceptance of dollar bills.

In these circumstances, knowing the difference between White Dollar (old) and Blue Dollar (new) is crucial for travelers, investors, and Iranians residing in Turkey.

  What are the differences between White Dollar and Blue Dollar?

  Blue Dollar (new version)

• $100 bills printed after 2013

• Has a 3D blue security ribbon

• Very high security level

• Most accepted in Turkey (after device updates)

  White Dollar (old version)

• $100 bills printed between 1996 and 2013

• Simpler security features

• Higher risk of counterfeiting

• Non-acceptance or severe restrictions in many Turkish banks

  Important conclusion:
Most banks in Turkey still refuse to accept White $100 bills and $50 bills, even if they are genuine.

  Rules for accepting dollars in Turkish banks and exchanges

After the counterfeit bill crisis:

• For a while, the acceptance of all dollar bills was halted

• After device updates, Blue $100 dollar was accepted again

• Banks are more sensitive than exchanges

• Bills that:

  • are stamped

  • have writing on them

  • are worn out
    may not be accepted even if they are genuine

  Security tips to identify genuine Blue $100 bills

To ensure the authenticity of the new dollar:

• ✅ Security thread with USA 100 (visible in light)

• ✅ 3D blue ribbon with moving number 100

• ✅ Color change of number 100 (copper → green)

• ✅ Watermark of Franklin's face

• ✅ Color-changing bell

These features make counterfeiting bills very difficult.
