Oh, this is a good point. The Egyptians are EXTREMELY picky about the condition of bills, their banks won't accept a bill that's slightly torn or excessively worn. A $20 bill with a tiny tear near the corner is useless to you there!
You won't have any problem boarding airplanes in Europe. English is quite common there, and most of the airline personnel will speak at least a little English or can direct you immediately to someone who's fluent. The alphabet is the same, anyway, and the numerals, not to mention airline logos so it's easy enough to find your gate.
