Egypt has printed its own banknotes in-house since the Central Bank's printing facility opened at Al-Haram in 1967, one of the earlier examples of a developing-country central bank achieving full domestic production independence. The P#61 series ran across a notably long window for a single pick number, suggesting incremental security or signature updates rather than a full redesign — a common cost-control approach when plates are domestically held and retooling is cheaper than reissuing.
Watermark-only security is modest for a high-denomination note issued in the mid-1990s, a period when most regional central banks were adding security threads as standard.
