About Georgian Lari Exchange
The Georgian Lari (GEL) is the official currency of Georgia, a country situated at the crossroads of Eastern Europe and Western Asia. We accept all denominations of Georgian Lari banknotes and coins, including older series and damaged notes.
Current Georgian Lari Banknotes
The current Georgian Lari banknotes were introduced from 2016 onwards and feature a range of denominations with modern security features including holograms, watermarks, and raised print. We accept all current notes, including the 100 GEL note and the 200 GEL note, as well as all smaller denominations in the current series.
Old Series & Damaged Notes
Unlike most high street exchanges, we also accept older Georgian Lari banknotes that are no longer in circulation, such as the 50 GEL note first issued in 2004 and the 10 GEL note first issued in 2002. Damaged or worn notes are also considered, provided they remain at least 50% intact; the rate offered may be slightly lower to reflect condition and handling.
Georgian Lari Coins
Georgian Lari coins — known as Tetri in their smaller denominations — are accepted, though the rate is slightly lower than for banknotes due to the additional handling costs involved. If you have mixed leftover currency from the wider region, we also exchange currencies such as Azerbaijani Manat and Turkish Lira.
