After a competition, the Turkish Lira's symbol was determined and presented to public on March 1, 2012.

The scale which consist of 22 items and 5 grade Likert type, was applied to 382 person in the center of Görele town, district of Giresun City. Firstly, the reliability test was performed for 22 items of the survey, and then 2 items which disrupts reliability test results, was discarded and the analysis repeated. The final version of the scale's Cronbachs' Alpha value was found (α = 0.944). So, this "high degree of reliability value" provided us to carry out factor analysis on 20 survey questions.
