Egyptian Pound
The Egyptian pound (Egyptian Arabic: جنيه مصرى [ɡeˈneː ˈmɑsˤri, ˈɡeni-] from English "guinea"; symbol: £; international abbreviations: E£, £E, LE; currency code: EGP; Arabic symbol: ج.م.) is the official currency of Egypt, introduced in 1834 to replace the Egyptian piastre. Each pound (Arabic: junayh, جُنَيْه) is divided into 100 piastres (Arabic: qirsh, قرش; abbreviation: "PT", short for "piastre tarif"). Each pound was also historically divided into 1,000 milliemes (مليم [mælˈliːm]; French: millième, abbreviated to m or mill). Since July 6, 2022, the 10- and 20-pound notes have been made out of polymer plastic paper.
Pakistani Rupee
The Pakistani rupee (Urdu: روپیہ; ISO code: PKR; symbol: 𞱱; abbreviation: Re (singular) and Rs (plural)) is the official currency of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. It was formerly divided into one hundred paisa (Urdu: پیسہ); however, paisa-denominated coins have not been legal tender since 2013. The issuance of the currency is controlled by the State Bank of Pakistan. It was officially adopted by the Government of Pakistan in 1949. Earlier the coins and notes were issued and controlled by the Reserve Bank of India until 1949, when it was handed over to the Government and the State Bank of Pakistan, by the Government and the Reserve Bank of India. In Pakistani English, large values of rupees are counted in thousands; lac (hundred thousands); crore (ten-millions); arab (billion); kharab (hundred billion). Numbers are still grouped in thousands.
