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.
