The Egyptian Pound (EGP) is the official currency of Egypt, issued by the Central Bank of Egypt.
The modern series features a distinctive blend of Islamic architecture, Pharaonic heritage, and national symbolism.
Each denomination showcases iconic mosques, ancient temples, and cultural motifs, reflecting Egypt’s unique position as a crossroads of ancient and modern civilisation.
Recent issues include enhanced security features, updated colour palettes, and durable polymer notes designed for heavy circulation.
These modern EGP banknotes form the primary legal tender across Egypt and remain widely recognised throughout the Middle East and North Africa.
Exchanging your EGP notes is straightforward and secure.
Enter the amount you wish to exchange into your wallet and proceed with the exchange, and everything will be handled quickly and efficiently.
Before the introduction of the current enhanced‑security and polymer series, Egypt issued several earlier generations of Pound banknotes.
These older notes often feature traditional paper designs, earlier portraits of national monuments, and classic layouts that have since been replaced.
Many reflect key periods in Egypt’s economic development, from mid‑20th‑century issues to the transitional designs of the 1990s and early 2000s.
Although no longer used in everyday transactions, many outdated Egyptian Pound notes still retain redeemable value and remain of interest to collectors due to their distinctive artwork, historical themes, and representation of Egypt’s evolving national identity.
