The Egyptian pound (Egyptian Arabic: جنيه مصرى [ɡeˈneː ˈmɑsˤri, ˈɡeni-]; abbreviations: £,[3][4] E£,[5] £E,[6] LE,[7] or EGP in Latin, and ج.م. in Arabic, ISO code: EGP) is the official currency of Egypt. It is divided into 100 piastres, or qirsh (قرش [ʔerʃ]; plural قروش [ʔʊˈruːʃ];[8] abbreviation: PT (short for "piastre tarif")[9]) and was historically divided into 1,000 milliemes (مليم [mælˈliːm]; French: millième, abbreviated to m or mill).
The 10- and 20-pound notes are made out of polymer plastic paper as of July 6, 2022.
