| Additional information |
Egypt has conducted population censuses since 1882 under British administration, and the modern series has been held at roughly ten-year intervals under CAPMAS, the state statistics agency. The 2006 census recorded Egypt's population at just over 72 million — a figure the government used to justify accelerated infrastructure and housing programs in the Nile Delta corridor. Commemorative issues tied to administrative milestones are a consistent feature of Central Bank of Egypt silver output from this period, most struck in relatively modest quantities for collector sales rather than circulation.
