The Central Bank of Egypt issued 200 Egyptian pounds that depict the statue of the Seated scribe in 2007. These notes are still in circulation.

The statue of the seated scribe is a famous work of Egyptian art. The statue is almost 5000 years old. Scribe is a term used to describe a person who creates copies of manuscripts. This structure is made up of limestone in crystalline form. His eyes were inlaid with rock crystal, magnetite, copper-arsenic alloy, and nipples made of wood. In ancient Egypt, it was believed that reading and writing imparted wisdom.
