The currency of Egypt is the pound, the Egyptian pound is divided into 100 piastres. There are several currency units as indicated in the following table, every banknote has two faces, one in Arabic and usually has pictures of a well known mosque in Egypt and the other face is in English and has pictures of ancient Egyptian figures, statues or generally monuments.

I agree with the others, save that the basic unit of currency (ie equivalent to the US cent or British pence) is the 'piaster', which given the weakness of the Egyptian pound, is so valueless that beggars will often refuse them or at best sneer when given them.
