About the Egyptian Pound

Every Egyptian banknote carries two faces: an Arabic side depicting Islamic architecture from across Egypt, and an English side featuring motifs from ancient Egyptian history β€” statues, temples, and pharaonic engravings. Since 1968 the Central Bank has used a security thread and the watermark image of the Seated Scribe, a famous piece of ancient Egyptian sculpture, to help deter counterfeiting. Egyptian currency circulates as banknotes from EΒ£1 up to EΒ£200, with the 10 and 20 pound notes issued in polymer since 2021, alongside piastre coins and a 1-pound coin. The pound floats rather than being pegged, and has depreciated substantially against the dollar in recent years following changes to Egypt's exchange rate policy.
