关于 Egyptian Pound
The Egyptian Pound was introduced in 1836, replacing the piastre as the chief unit of currency. It has a long history, including being pegged to the British Pound Sterling for many years.
The name 'Pound' is derived from its historical peg to the British Pound Sterling. The Arabic name, 'genēh', is derived from the Guinea coin.
