Money warning for tourists heading to Turkey

Tourists should read up on the laws before they travel (Image: Getty) There are a couple of rules tourists heading to Turkey need to know about before they go. Anyone heading to Turkey should be aware that there are strict laws in place around the Turkish flag - it is illegal to burn or deface it anyway, and this includes miniature replicas of it - like those on money. Even though the chances of a person on holiday burning cash are relatively low, it pays to keep in mind that you could face criminal prosecution or fines for writing on money or tearing it up.

As well as these laws, it’s also illegal to speak ill of the nation of Turkey on social media. Another law tourists should be aware of is that it's illegal not to have some form of identification on you at all times. function loadOvpScript(){let el=document.
