If you picked up your pay cheque today ahead of the Eid break you might find some new notes in your wallet. The Ministry of Interior announced today the circulation of new 100 EGP and 200 EGP notes. While the designs remain mostly the same, the new notes are slightly slimmer and both new notes include holograms for the first time; the hundred note has a festive green stamp, while the 200 glitters in gold.
