My favourite Egyptian notes.

National Bank of Egypt, One Pound 1899 'Camel' note, along with a 1924 Camel One Pound note, and 50 Piastres with the Sphinx on it.
Very attractive banknote designs.

I just found this on eBay, and I like it!

$10 was the price of 8 beers in a bar in Malaya in the 1960’s - and at 2s4d to the Dollar, it was worth £1:3:4

It had the rough buying power as €25 today.
