Egypt has printed its own banknotes domestically since the late 1960s, and the Central Bank of Egypt's own printing works in Cairo handle the full production of this series. The security thread on P#66 runs as a windowed strip — embedded but partially surfacing — a feature the CBE incorporated broadly across denominations during this period as counterfeiting pressure on Egyptian currency increased through the 1990s.
The cotton substrate sourced for Egyptian domestic issues has historically been prone to soiling and surface wear under the high-velocity cash handling typical of Cairo's informal economy, meaning circulated survivors from the early 2001 issues rarely retain the crispness of comparable notes held outside the country.
