Different wired names for the Egyptian pound

So, do you think that you know the one and only name for the Egyptian currency? ,, some people will read this and just say what is it that you are talking about and what kind of a question is that ? It is the one and only famous Egyptian pound. Well, am so sorry to tell you guys that you are wrong , it is not just the famous Egyptian pound , it has so many other names that you would only know if you are very familiar with the Egyptian streets with the different social classes along with different ages and different cultural backgrounds. So if you are one day wondering the streets in Egypt , buying something from the supermarket or taking a ride in a cap and then you hear someone saying it only costs you 15 “Bolbol” or if you asked the taxi driver “How much is the ride?” and he simply answered you saying, it is only 20 “Gondy” do not be surprised and do not you dare ask him what does this mean , because it just means that you owe him 20 regular Egyptian pounds. However, in places where people of lower social and educational classes along with people with a little bit different cultural basics can be found, you might actually hear much more weird names for the pound, so you could be passing by some young people and you accidently hear one of them saying I only have one “Lahlooh”, so again, do not freak out . it just means that he only has one pound.

Moreover, and if you are not extremely surprised by now , then a I can tell there is actually one more name for money that you could hear around Egypt which is “Cammant” and this is when you have to know that it is money that is being talked about. So wrapping the whole thing up , we can say that is always the un expected that you can find here in Egypt, you can never guess what wired names you will find for every single thing as every sector in the society literally have it’s own culture , habits . beliefs , perspectives and of course, language. However, no one can argue that we also have so much in common as Egyptians , despite all of our differences , we all know how to connect at the end of the day in ways that no other community can. So we are lucky , we are different, but we are the same .
