Yes Lee, I am here Quote: I didn't take the 25 Piastres because I think they don't use any coins in Egypt even if they exist. I hope I am right in that one. Completely WRONG Quote: which shortly means that there is practically only paper money circulating Report this Post to the Staff
EgCollector Pillar of the Community Egypt 3470 Posts	Posted 02/22/2009 6:17 pm We have circulating coins, in fact the government has a plan of minting new denominations such as the 5 pounds coin which wasnt used in circulation. As you see from the list below Egypt has a variety of different coin denominations and dates that are still in circulation. It's hard to pick the older one's in a good condition from circulation but it is easy to find Unc ones at a coin dealer. EGYPTIAN COINS CURRENTLY IN CIRCULATION; 5 Piastres (1967) 5 Piastres (1972) 5 Piastres (1984) small denomination 5 Piastres (1984) large denomination 5 Piastres (1992) decorated vase (21mm) 5 Piastres (2004) decorated vase (18mm) 10 Piastres (1967) 10 Piastres (1972) 10 Piastres (1984) 10 Piastres (1992) 10 Piastres (2008) 20 Piastres (1984) 20 Piastres (1992) 25 Piastres (1993) 50 Piastres (2005) Cleopatra, 50 Piastres (2008) Cleopatra 1 Pound (2005) Tutankhamen burial mask 1 Pound (2007) Tutankhamen burial mask 1 Pound (2008) Tutankhamen burial mask Edited by EgCollector 02/23/2009 4:08 pm Report this Post to the Staff

EgCollector Pillar of the Community Egypt 3470 Posts	Posted 02/22/2009 6:26 pm Quote: Now I am not sure any more. I searched in Wikipedia for Egyptian pound. In the English version it says: Coins, even for the smallest amounts, are encountered much less frequently than notes but coins down to 5 qirsh remain legal currency. Try This link; http://coins.about.com/od/worldcoin...ey-Coins.htm Quote: The Circulating Coin business delivered its second year of increased profitability and 14% growth in turnover to £85 million (2006-07: £74. 4 million), which contributed significantly to The Royal Mint's strong financial performance during the year. Of particular note was its growth in the overseas market, which was evidenced by the award of a major contract with the Egypt Mint Authority for coins and blanks, as well as significant orders from Trinidad & Tobago, Macau, Rwanda and Eastern Caribbean Central Bank (ECCB). These are just some examples of the 52 overseas customers that chose The Royal Mint as preferred supplier for circulating coins and ready-for-striking blanks.

Archraz Pillar of the Community United States 3499 Posts	Posted 02/22/2009 6:50 pm I can't believe that no one has pointed out that ALL Asian cash coins had holes of some sort. So right there you have a ton of types and varieties. Report this Post to the Staff

smarknow New Member Austria 7 Posts	Posted 02/23/2009 11:39 am Tanks to EgCollector for all the information and the links! Its just another example for how much you can trust Wikipedia. I thought it sounded odd, but it clearly said so in the German version. The 25 Piastres are on the list now. Report this Post to the Staff
