From messages by 2 participants in 2 sources · Last activity: 9 days ago

TL;DR

For Sharm El Sheikh, bring clean, undamaged US dollar bills from 2007 or newer, especially $100 notes. Bills from the 1990s may be refused; 2000s series are usually exchangeable but not guaranteed everywhere.

US dollar bills from the early 2000s are usually accepted at exchange offices or via ATMs, but acceptance is not guaranteed. Notes from the 1990s can be refused.

The issue mainly concerns US$100 notes. If a bill is clean and not worn, dollars issued before 2006 may still be accepted in practice.
