Where can I exchange older-series US dollar bills for Turkish lira in Istanbul?

For older US dollar notes, try the exchange offices on İstiklal Avenue. Rates at neighboring bureaux are generally very close, so check several places and ask whether they will accept your particular note series with no commission.

Avoid using older ATMs for cash transactions: one traveler reported difficulty getting a bill back. If you have older US dollars, it is safer to confirm the terms directly at an exchange office first.

Information on exchanging older US dollars can vary by bureau: travelers noted that some places do exchange them, but without reliable details on locations or rates. Check the terms before committing to an exchange.
