Rumours of Egypt’s new plastic cash has been around for some time, except we can now confirm it is not a rumour anymore.

New polymer EGP 10 banknotes have officially been released

Along with the new plastic material, the cash bill features a new gold design that has the New Administrative Capital’s new Al-Fattah Al-Aleem Mosque on it. Btw, it is Egypt’s largest mosque to date.

Polymer banknotes have a lot of benefits when compared to paper notes. They last longer, are waterproof, are more easily recyclable, are more difficult to counterfeit, and are stain proof from dirt and dust.
