Egypt in Depth Currency
The currency in Egypt is the Egyptian pound (£E). Notes are in denominations of £E100, £E50, £E20, £E10, £E5, £E1, £E0.50 and £E0.25, and coins are in denominations of 50, 25, 20, 10 and 5 Piastres. It's best to build up a supply of the small bills because you'll need them for baksheesh (a request for a tip for services rendered) and small purchases, and many shopkeepers and cabbies will not have - or claim they don't have - change.
