	BOI - Israel Notes and Coins
		On September 4, 1985 the new sheqel, equal to 1,000 old sheqalim, became the currency of Israel.
		The name "sheqel" was retained so as not to deviate from the original intention of the legislator as embodied in the Sheqel Currency Law, 5729-1969, viz., to preserve the ancient name of Israel's coinage.
		The new sheqel series continues the trend of perpetuating the memory of prominent personages in Jewish history.

	RATE-EXCHANGE.org - Israel Currency / Israeli New Sheqel
		The New Israeli shekel is the third generation of national currency, and was introduced in 1985 by the State of Israel’s official monetary policy organization – the Bank of Israel – to replace its predecessor, the “old” shekel.
		The original shekel was introduced in 1980 at a conversion rate of one shekel for each 10 lira.
		The plural of shekel is “shekelim” (or sheqalim) in Hebrew, though Israelis frequently used the Anglicized plural “shekels” instead.

		Post 1967 distortions such as the Israeli imposed "customs union", restrictions on Palestinian imports and exports, and the Arab boycott have been further compounded by the disengagement of the Gulf States after 1991 and the reduction in the transfer of remittances from Palestinian expatriates working there, and the devaluation of the Jordanian Dinar.
		The downturn was largely the result of Israeli closure policies - the imposition of generalized border closures in response to security incidents in Israel - which disrupted previously established labor and commodity market relationships between Israel and the WBGS (West Bank and Gaza Strip).
		Recovery was upended in the last quarter of 2000 with the outbreak of Palestinian violence, which triggered tight Israeli closures of Palestinian self-rule areas and a severe disruption of trade and labor movements.

		Israeli law barred the return of the refugees because it would create a disproportionately high Palestinian demographic in the country, which Israel feels would undermine the purpose and security of the Israeli state.
		In response to Israeli military action, support for these terrorist groups has grown as Palestinians begin to see armed resistance as their only line of defense (5).
		Traditionally, the Palestinian government has backed suicide attacks on Israeli civilians and been the unjust aggressor, but in the current situation it must be admitted that Israel is largely to blame for a failure to resume diplomatic negotiations.

		(Before 1980 the Israeli currency was called the Israeli pound or lira.) The NIS is equivalent to 1,000 old Israeli shekels and is divided into 100 agorot.
		The requirement for the NIS stemmed from the very rapid inflation rate of the preceding years, which also resulted in dramatic devaluation of the old shekel against foreign currencies; for example, from 1980 to 1985 the old shekel lost value against the United States dollar by 25,000 percent.
		In 1988 it remained Israeli- occupied territory and was not recognized by the United States government as part of Israel.

		Israeli families across the social strata are sending their children to study abroad and emigrating at a pace that was not thought possible only a few years ago.
		The moral fabric of Israeli society is tearing apart at the seams as the Israeli military proudly reverts to a policy of assassination, imprisonment, demolition of homes, deportation, and collective punishment.
		Israeli voters taking back their country from those bent on forever persecuting Palestinians is the final hope for Israel to save itself from its own ill-advised, three-decade policy of occupation.

		Israel's 1996 inflation rate was 10.6 percent, but in the second half of the year the annualized rate fell to less than seven percent, reflecting the downturn in the Israeli economy.
		Of major importance to the Israeli economy is the large number of immigrants who have been absorbed into the economy since 1989.
		Although the process of absorbing new immigrants has encountered some difficulties over the past five years, this body of immigrants provides a wealth of professional and technological resources that has the potential for spurring economic growth, both in terms of know-how and in terms of supply and demand.

		The Israeli economy is already integrated with the U.S. economy as there is a considerable volume of trade between the two countries, such as in diamonds and technology.
		Currently, the shekel is the legal currency of the Palestinian Authority and Palestinians have never had their own currency (the Oslo Agreement has prevented the Palestinian Monetary Authority from issuing a national currency).
		Replacing the shekel with the dollar, would not only put to rest a symbol of the Israeli occupation, it would remove risks and costs associated with introducing a new currency.

		The Israeli president has a mainly-ceremonial role; executive power is vested in the cabinet, headed by the prime minister.
		He established contacts with left-wing Israelis in the 1970s and was the main Palestinian architect of the 1993 Oslo accords, which led to the foundation of the Palestinian Authority.
		These outlets came under the jurisdiction of the Palestinian president in early 2006; the move was seen as an attempt to prevent the new Hamas-dominated government from exerting control over the official media.
