Įspūdinga!

The Israeli new sheqel has been in use since 1 January 1986 when it replaced the old sheqel that was in usage between 24 February 1980 and 31 December 1985, at a ratio of 1000:1. The authoritative spelling on Israeli coins and banknotes is new sheqel, pl. new sheqalim, though informally, the spelling 'shekel' can be found as well.
