Are old-design euro banknotes (2002 series) accepted at exchange offices in Hurghada?

One traveler asked whether exchange offices accept old-style 2002 euro banknotes (100 euro notes) in good condition — a common concern for those bringing cash from home.

The 'old euros' people mention are specifically the 2002-series banknotes — they look visually different from newer bills, but abroad they're accepted just like any other euros.

The original question from a traveler was whether 2002-series euro banknotes are still accepted for payment — the concern was whether such older bills might be considered outdated for exchange.
