The Egyptian pound (아랍어: جنيه مصرىGenēh Maṣri  이집트 아랍어 발음: [ɡeˈneː(h) ˈmɑsˤɾi] or in Alexandrian accent: Geni Maṣri  [ˈɡeni ˈmɑsˤɾi]) (sign: or ج.م; code: EGP) is the currency of Egypt. It is divided into 100 piastre, or qirsh (قرش  [ʔeɾʃ]; plural قروش  [ʔʊˈɾuːʃ]; 튀르키예어: Kuruş[1]), or 1,000 milliemes (아랍어: مليم‎  [mælˈliːm]; 프랑스어: Millième).

The ISO 4217 code is EGP. Locally, the abbreviation LE or L.E., which stands for livre égyptienne (French for Egyptian pound) is frequently used. and £E are rarely used. The name Gineih (Genēh / Geni  [ɡeˈneː(h), ˈɡeni]) is derived from the Guinea coin, which had almost the same value of 100 piastres at the end of the 19th century.

History[편집]

In 1834, a Khedival Decree was issued providing for the issuing of an Egyptian currency based on a bimetallic base, i.e.: based on gold and silver. The Egyptian pound, known as the gineih, was introduced, replacing the Egyptian piastre (qirsh) as the chief unit of currency. The piastre continued to circulate as 1100 of a pound, with the piastre subdivided into 40 para. In 1885, the para ceased to be issued, and the piastre was divided into tenths (عشر القرش 'oshr el-qirsh). These tenths were renamed milliemes (malleem) in 1916.

The legal exchange rates were fixed by force of law for important foreign currencies which became acceptable in the settlement of internal transactions. Eventually this led to Egypt using a de facto gold standard between 1885 and 1914, with E£1 = 7.4375 grams pure gold. At the outbreak of World War I, the Egyptian pound was pegged to the British pound sterling at EG£0.975 per GB£1.

The first E£1 banknote issued in 1899

Egypt remained part of the Sterling Area until 1962, when Egypt devalued slightly and switched to a peg to the United States dollar, at a rate of EG£1 = US$2.3. This peg was changed to 1 pound = 2.55555 dollars in 1973 when the dollar was devalued. The pound was itself devalued in 1978 to a peg of 1 pound = 1.42857 dollars (1 dollar = 0.7 pound). The pound floated in 1989; however, the float is tightly managed by the Central Bank of Egypt and foreign exchange controls are in effect.

The National Bank of Egypt issued banknotes for the first time on 3 April 1899. The Central Bank of Egypt and the National Bank of Egypt were unified into the Central Bank of Egypt in 1961.

지폐[편집]

1899년, 이집트 국립은행은 지폐를 50 피아스터, E£1, E£5, E£10, E£50와 E£100의 종류로 도입하였다. 1916년과 1917년 사이, 25 피아스터 지폐는 정부의 통화 지폐인 5, 10 피아스터와 함께 더해졌다. 간헐적으로 발행된 5와 10 피아스터는 오늘닐 재무부가 생산한다.

1961년, 이집트 중앙은행은 국립은행로부터 인수했고 issued notes in denominations of 25 and 50 piasters, £1, £5, £10 and £20 notes were introduced in 1976, followed by £100 in 1978, £50 in 1993 and £200 in 2007.[3]

All Egyptian banknotes are bilingual, with Arabic texts and Arabic-Indic numerals on the obverse, and English texts and Arabic numerals on the reverse. Obverse designs tend to feature an Islamic building with reverse designs featuring Ancient Egyptian motifs (buildings, statues and inscriptions). During December 2006, it was mentioned in articles in Al Ahram and Al Akhbar newspapers that there were plans to introduce £200 and £500 notes. As of 2007, there are £200 notes circulating in Egypt and subsequently £500 notes will start circulating. As of the summer of 2009, £1 and 50 pt banknotes are being phased out, replaced by more extensive use of coins. Presumably 25 pt notes will be phased out as well.
