Bouga is Bringing The Forgotten One-Pound Paper Note Back to Life

There was a time when finding EGP 1 in your pocket felt like a tiny win. These days, you're more likely to find the old paper note at the bottom of a drawer, tucked inside a book or hiding between the pages of your childhood diary.

Bouga is bringing it back into circulation, sort of. The Egyptian brand has turned the nostalgic one-pound note into a tote bag, giving the once-everyday bill a new life outside your forgotten change stash. You might not be able to buy much with a single pound these days, but at least you can carry it around all day.
