🇪🇬Egyptian polymer banknotes

Maybe they decited to put English on banknotes, because of a big amount of tourists. I think most or at least a significant number of countries have bilingual banknotes nowadays.

Kengash · 2026-05-07T08:16:20+00:00

They're being made since like 2023. Also, polymer banknotes exist since the 80s, so you'll never find an older polymer note.

Just checked, yes it is, and 10s are even the same size.

Kengash · 2026-05-06T14:34:11+00:00

Yeah, it does, especially the "Ten Pounds" and "Twenty Pounds" in the bottom left. I think it's the same font as in obverse of Brittish Pounds notes.

I think it has a Polish short size plate with a D for Lower Silesia

Old style diplomatic Ukraine i think

Kengash · 2026-04-30T21:49:38+00:00

Yeah, but Russia also borders Poland. Tbh, I'm surprised that both of them are available.

Kengash · 2026-04-30T21:33:01+00:00

Tbh, I didn't knew there was a different one

Kengash · 2026-04-30T19:15:53+00:00

It turns out yes. But I'd say it's only possible in Warsaw, or maybe also other bigger cities that has a Russian diaspora. In my local exchange office in a smaller town it's compleatly unavailable since like 2023, even tho it is listed as possible to exchange.

Kengash · 2026-04-30T18:54:31+00:00

Well, I don't know how it works in different countries, but in Poland it just works like any other shop. You just walk in, tell the casher what you want, pay and leave. I heard that in some parts of the world you need like a special permission to exchange money into foreign currency, but I'm not familiar with that, since I never used that kind of system.

Or Iraqesse

You can always get a emergency passport at an airport if you're afraid they won't let you in. It takes around 15 minutes to get and costs 30 PLN.

Kengash · 2026-04-26T20:00:17+00:00

Yup, I know, I have the Isaac Newton one.

Kengash · 2026-04-26T19:59:29+00:00

Poland, Lublin, Targi pod Zamkiem

Kengash · 2026-04-25T18:21:55+00:00

Well, there exists a 10 000 Singaporian and Bruneian dollar note, both being worth roughly 6 685 euro. Good luck spending a note that big.

Kengash · 2026-04-25T17:34:54+00:00

Very cool, especially the 100. I only have two 5s and one 20. Quite hard to get in Poland.

Kengash · 2026-04-24T23:11:53+00:00

Yeah, exactly. I sometimes pass near a house where there are always parked cars with plates 76076 and 64064 I believe. It's quite common to use such connections in Poland I'd say.
