The central bank sold $37.6 million and the cut-off price strengthened to 6.9849 Egyptian pounds per dollar from 6.9858 on Thursday, data from the central bank showed.
The bank had offered $40 million. The cut-off price on July 3 was 7.0184.
The central bank introduced the currency sales, held three times a week, at the end of December to help stave off a currency crisis and thwart a run on the pound.
Since then, the bank had allowed the currency to lose more than 11 percent of its value on the official market.
