Currency - Pound (EGP)
Below is a 10 pounds polymer banknote released on 05.07.2022 by the Central Bank of Egypt. After the release of this note, a reprint for the 10 pounds polymer was also issued in 2023. Here, I have only posted the first issue of this polymer banknote.
The design for this series is completely new and this is also the first time Egypt has issued a polymer banknote. This note is reportedly printed in Egypt by The Printing House of the Central Bank of Egypt.
Egypt is the 69th counrty/bank in the world to release a polymer banknote since 1988.
Ten Pounds
