About Egyptian Pounds Exchange
The Egyptian Pound (EGP) is the official currency of Egypt, issued by the Central Bank of Egypt and subdivided into 100 piastres. We accept all denominations of Egyptian pound banknotes and coins, including older series and damaged notes.
Current Egyptian Pound Banknotes
Current Egyptian pound banknotes feature Arabic calligraphy, Islamic architecture, and ancient Egyptian imagery, and are printed with a range of security features including watermarks and metallic threads. We accept all denominations in circulation, including higher-value notes such as the 200 EGP note and the 100 EGP note, as well as every smaller denomination in between. If you have returned from a holiday in Egypt and have notes left over, we can convert them quickly and easily.
Old Series & Damaged Notes
Unlike most high street exchanges, we buy older and withdrawn Egyptian pound notes, including issues such as the 100 EGP note issued in 1978 and earlier designs such as the 5 EGP note issued in 1957. We also accept damaged notes provided they are at least 50% intact, though the rate offered may be slightly lower than for notes in good condition. Egypt has issued many series of banknotes over the decades, so whether your notes are decades old or simply well-worn, we will still consider them.
Egyptian Pound Coins
We accept Egyptian pound coins, including the 50 piastres coin and the 1 Egyptian pound coin. Coin exchange rates are typically slightly lower than for banknotes due to the additional handling costs involved, but we are happy to take mixed coin and note collections together.
