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.
About Hungarian Forint (Ft)
The Hungarian Forint (HUF, ISO 4217 code 348, symbol Ft) is the official currency of Hungary, issued by Magyar Nemzeti Bank (MNB, est. 1924). Subdivided into 100 fillér (no longer in circulation since 1999). Banknotes: 500 Ft, 1000 Ft, 2000 Ft, 5000 Ft, 10000 Ft, 20000 Ft (highest denomination); current series features Hungarian historical figures — Ferenc II Rákóczi, István Széchenyi, Ferenc Deák, Mátyás Király, Lajos Kossuth, István Bocskai. Coins: 5 Ft, 10 Ft, 20 Ft, 50 Ft, 100 Ft, 200 Ft. Hungary joined the EU in 2004 with a commitment to eventually adopt the Euro, but has not done so — Hungary has consistently failed to meet Eurozone convergence criteria, particularly the budget deficit and inflation rate thresholds. Under Prime Minister Viktor Orbán (since 2010), Hungary has resisted EU pressure for Euro adoption. The MNB targets 3% CPI inflation ± 1 percentage point. The forint experienced massive depreciation in 2022 (peak inflation 25.7% in January 2023 — the highest in the EU at that time). Hungary is a major auto-manufacturing hub (Audi at Győr, Mercedes at Kecskemét, BMW under construction at Debrecen, Suzuki at Esztergom, BYD planned 2025).
