Currency

The Main Currency In Egypt Is The Pound. Every One Pound Have 100 Piasters  And The Sign For Pound With ( L E ) Meaning  ( Lever Egyptian ) In Egypt There Are Many Shapes Of Money, We Will Start With The Coins In. The Coins In Egypt  Are For 1 Pound, .50 Piasters (Half A Pound) And 25piastres (Quarter Of A Pound) And The One Pound And The 50 Piasters Coins Were Coined In 2006,   These Kinds From Coins Are Usable In All Egypt  But Paper Money Of The Same Value Is Not Accepted In Some Parts Of Egypt.

In Official Organization They Use The Money Less Than .25 Piasters.

The Egyptian Paper Money Is 5 L E, 10 Le, 20 L E, 50 Le, 100 Le, And 200 L E

When You Walk In Around You Have To Keep Some Small Money  With You Because You May Need It In Case You Buy Something Like Coca, Juice  Or Some Food From A Supermarket Because A Lot Of Small  Super Markets Don’t Have Visa Machine Or If You Will  Buy Something From A Bazaar Or Using Taxi. So You Need Some Small Money From 10 L E, 20 And 50 Le But If You Want To Buy Something Expensive Like Carpet Or Gold, Of Course You Will Need Notes Of A Higher Value.

Keep  Some Coins With You Because When You Walk In Street You May Find Some Kids Ask You To Get Bakshesh ( Means  Tipping)  And If You Give Them Such Coins They Will Send You Their Friends To Ask You Bakshesh Too And This Is Up To You To Give Or Not
