Egyptian Pound to Chilean Peso

The Egyptian pound (sign LE, code EGP) is the currency of Egypt. It can also be referred to as the livre or guinea as in outdated terms. The Egyptian pound can be subdivided into 100 small coins named piastres.

The currency has been introduced into circulation in 1885. The design of notes and coins was reconsidered several times, the currency’s level of protection has increased. Almost every banknote of the Egyptian pound features key mosques of the country. It serves as a reminder that Egypt is a Muslim state.

The Chilean peso (sign $, code CLP) is the national currency issued and spread only in Chile. The Chilean peso can be changed into coins named centavo. Every CLP has 100 centavos.

The currency had appeared in circulation in 1817, but was later replaced with escudo. However, the Chilean peso has been issued again. Today, both currencies are used at the same time. In 2008, the state mint has issued 50 commemorative coins with a misspelling of the country’s name. Some of these coins were sold at auction. Having a face value of 50 peso, their price could go up to 20 thousand peso. This nuisance led to the fact that the head of the mint was fired.
