I'm just going through my wallet from my visit last week and have found a beautiful little coin which I didn't realise I must have been given in amongst the wads of paper notes.
Its about 1cm across, gold and got an arabic 5 on the back - is this 5 piastras (I'm assuming its not 5LE)? I've only got one other coin - a 25 piastras with a hole in it.
