About Egyptian Pound (£)
The Egyptian Pound (EGP, ISO 4217 code 818, symbol £E or ج.م — gineh masry in Arabic) is the official currency of the Arab Republic of Egypt, issued by the Central Bank of Egypt (CBE, est. 1898 as National Bank of Egypt; CBE in current form 1961). Subdivided into 100 piastres (qirsh in Arabic). Banknotes: 5 piastres, 10 piastres, 25 piastres (paper, all rarely used), 50 piastres, £E1, £E5, £E10, £E20, £E50, £E100, £E200; CBE introduced polymer £E10 (2022) and £E20 (2023) banknotes as part of currency modernization. Egypt has undertaken multiple IMF Extended Fund Facility programs — most recently a $8 billion package signed March 2024 alongside a 60%+ EGP devaluation (from £E30 to £E50 per USD in a single day) and inflation reached ~36% in early 2024. Egypt is the most-populous Arab country (~115 million) and the largest economy in the Arab world by some measures, with major Suez Canal revenue (~$8-9B/year), tourism, natural gas exports, and remittances from Gulf workers (~$32B/year).
About Turkish Lira (₺)
The Turkish Lira (TRY, ISO 4217 code 949, symbol ₺) is the official currency of the Republic of Türkiye (Turkey) and Northern Cyprus, issued by the Central Bank of the Republic of Türkiye (CBRT, est. 1930). Subdivided into 100 kuruş. Banknotes: ₺5, ₺10, ₺20, ₺50, ₺100, ₺200 (the current 'E-9 Emission' series introduced 2009 features Atatürk on all denominations + scientific/cultural figures on the reverse — Mehmet Akif Ersoy, Cahit Arf, Ahmet Yesevi, Itri, Ohanesyan, Aşık Veysel, Fatma Aliye); coins: 1 kr, 5 kr, 10 kr, 25 kr, 50 kr, ₺1. Türkiye removed six zeros from its currency on January 1, 2005 — 'New Turkish Lira' (Yeni Türk Lirası, YTL) at 1 new = 1,000,000 old, simply renamed back to 'Türk Lirası' (TL/TRY) on January 1, 2009. Türkiye has experienced repeated severe currency crises — the 2018 lira crisis, the 2021 'lira shock' under President Erdoğan's unorthodox 'rate cuts cure inflation' theory, and ongoing inflation crisis (peak ~85% in October 2022, ~64% in May 2024 per TÜİK). The CBRT abandoned heterodox policies under Mehmet Şimşek + Hafize Erkan in June 2023.
