Egyptian Money
years and years ago I was given Egyptian money notes. I've literally just discovered them in far far away land, my room. anyway I done a google search whether its real or not, I've never been Egypt looks like monopoly money. wiki says something about it being out of circulation for a while but I don't have a clue can someone please help..
the notes have text, central bank of egypt, xx amount in 'piastres' are these valid and can I get it exchanged?

Re: Egyptian Money
There's 100 piastres to an Egyptian pound.. Exchage rate is about 6EP to £1 Sterling. So that makes it 600piastres per £1.. I think they only did 20piastres and 50piastres notes so makes a 50piastres note worth about 8-9pence

Re: Egyptian Money
You might get a fraction above the face value. if they are in nice condition, by looking up a Numismatics Society or approaching a dealer at a local Antiques and Collectors Fair.

Re: Egyptian Money
I 'thought' they counted as pounds - Egyptian Pound, some kind of translation.
Gary L, do you want some money?

Nope, they're the equivalent of our PENCE (just divide by the current exchange rate of 8.4 (the previous figure I gave was an old exchange rate from wiki))

Re: Egyptian Money

About 10p's worth.
