In Ancient Egypt they used a currency system based on gold an silver. They used those materials for coins. So about 2000 years ago they started using coins.
In Ancient Egypt there was no money, they bartered instead. Taxes were taken in goods, as per the person's trade. Farmers gave wheat or barley, etc... Each person brought their goods to the market, and would trade them for other supplies.
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.
In the 1950s, the currency of Egypt was the Egyptian pound, which is often abbreviated as EGP. The pound was subdivided into 100 piastres. During this decade, the currency underwent various changes due to economic reforms and the political landscape following the 1952 Revolution. The Egyptian pound has remained the official currency of Egypt since then.
