Description

The official currency of Israel. The ₪ symbol combines the first letter of "shekel" (ש) and the first letter of "hadash" (ח), meaning "new" in Hebrew.

History

The new shekel was introduced in 1985, replacing the old shekel at a rate of 1000 old shekels = 1 new shekel. The name dates back to an ancient unit of weight.
