Egypt, as far as we know did NOT have coins, paper money, Banks, etc. For all intensive purposes, a moneyless economy- but they did have slaves.

In terms of money used in Ancient Egypt, because it is so long ago there is absolutely no way of comparing to any modern currency. They did not even have coins for much of the time of Ancient Egypt, initially using a barter system. Coins did eventually come in. There was not real world economy with international trade in the way we know it now, so the way we analyse economies between countries today did not apply in Ancient Egypt.
Cleopatra VII, the last active ruler of the Ptolemaic Kingdom of Egypt, began issuing coins in her own name around 40 B.C. These coins often featured her portrait and were used to solidify her power and image in both Egypt and the broader Mediterranean world. The most famous coins from her reign date to around 30 B.C., shortly before her death.

Yes, gold coins were produced in 48 BC, particularly by the Roman Republic. During this period, the Romans minted gold coins known as "aurei," which featured various images, including depictions of prominent leaders and deities. These coins were used for trade and as a display of wealth, reflecting the economic practices of the time. Other cultures, such as the Ptolemaic Kingdom in Egypt, also produced gold coins around this era.
