I know that when traveling, the biggest "shocker" is the money of the new country. Often, you may even think it's Monopoly money. Therefore I bring you this page hoping it should answer some of your questions and problems. The current rate of the American Dollar runs between 3.30-3.80 Shekels to one American Dollar. Meaning $100 at a 3.50 Shekel rate = 350 Shekels. Whatever you have in $, multiply it by 3.50. The Dollar is the equivalent of the Shekel, like the Cent is to the Agura. The coins that we have here in Israel don't have names like in America. Below is a list of Israels coins and bills and their approximate values. 10 agurot coin = 3 cents 50 agurot coin = 14 cents 1 shekel coin = 29 cents 10 shekel coin = 30 dollars and then we have the bills 20 shekel bill = 6 dollars 50 shekel bill = 14 dollars 100 shekel bill = 29 dollars 200 shekel bill = 57 dollars To get the most up to date exchange rate of the US Dollar or any other currency, click here to vist the website of the Bank of Israel. I hope this helped you. If you have any further questions please don't hesitate to ask.
