Compare before you buy

Some of the best travel money deals are only available when you buy online. By using a comparison site, you're more likely to see the full range of deals on offer and get the best rate.

Order online

Always place your order online, even if you plan to collect your currency in person. Most supermarkets and high street currency suppliers offer better exchange rates if you order online beforehand.

Combine orders

If you're travelling with others, consider placing one large currency order instead of buying individually. Many currency suppliers offer enhanced rates that improve as you order more.

Egyptian pound banknotes and coins

One Egyptian pound (E£) can be subdivided into 100 piastres (PT) and 1000 milliemes (m), although milliemes are no longer used due to their low value and the smallest physical unit of currency you're likely to come across is the 25 PT coin.

There are six denominations of Egyptian pound banknotes in frequent circulation: E£ 5, E£ 10, E£ 20, E£ 50, E£ 100 and E£ 200; and three coin denominations: 25 PT, 50 PT and E£ 1.

Unsurprisingly, many of Egypt's coins and banknotes feature images of pharaohs. Cleopatra is depicted on the 50 piastre coin, Tutankhamun on the 1 pound coin and and Khafra on the 50 pound note.
