About Israeli Shekel (₪)
The Israeli New Shekel (ILS, ISO 4217 code 376, symbol ₪; pronounced 'shekel' from Hebrew שֶׁקֶל) is the official currency of the State of Israel, also widely circulated in the Palestinian Territories (West Bank, Gaza, East Jerusalem), issued by the Bank of Israel (BoI, est. 1954). Subdivided into 100 agorot. Banknotes: ₪20 (poet Rachel Bluwstein, polymer), ₪50 (poet Shaul Tchernichovsky), ₪100 (poet Leah Goldberg), ₪200 (poet Nathan Alterman); the current 'Notable Israeli Poets' series introduced 2014-2017 replaced an earlier series. Coins: 10 agorot, 1/2 ILS, ILS1, ILS2, ILS5, ILS10. The 'New Shekel' (introduced January 1, 1986) replaced the original shekel at 1 new = 1,000 old, following Israel's 1985 stabilization plan that ended hyperinflation (peak ~445% in 1984). Israel is a high-income economy (~$510B GDP) known for tech (Tel Aviv ranks 5th globally for startups per Startup Genome), defense industry (Elbit, IAI, Rafael), pharmaceuticals (Teva), and natural gas (Leviathan + Tamar offshore fields). BoI targets 1-3% CPI inflation per the Bank of Israel Law 2010.

Uruguay is South America's smallest Spanish-speaking country (~3.4 million population) and one of Latin America's most-developed economies (~$80B GDP) — Uruguay consistently ranks #1 in Latin America for Democracy Index, Corruption Perceptions Index, Press Freedom, and Economic Freedom. The country abolished income tax, legalized cannabis (the first country to do so nationally, in 2013), abolished same-sex marriage prohibitions (2013), and legalized abortion (2012) — all under President José 'Pepe' Mujica's broad social-democratic agenda.
