Indonesian Rupiah to Egyptian Pound

The Indonesian Rupiah (symbol: Rp, code: IDR, number: 360) is the official currency of Indonesia. Informally Indonesians use the word "perak" ("silver" in Indonesian) in referring to rupiah. The rupiah was first introduced in the country in 1945.

However, the modern version of the currency, the so-called new rupiah is being issued since the redenomination in 1965. The exchange was made at the rate of 1000 old rupees per new one. The rupiah formally is divided into 100 sens, but physically coins denominated less than 1 Rp are discontinued. The banknotes depict national heroes, politicians, monuments, sceneries of the country, local people.

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 It can also be referred to as the livre or guinea as in outdated terms.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.
