The new shekel:
The new shekel is the monetary unit of Israel and together with the Jordanian dinar, it is also the Palestinian National Authority. It is divided into 100 agorot.
The new shekel was adopted in 1985, replacing the shekel, at the rate of 1000 old shekels for each unit of the new currency.

As for the tickets, the current values are 20, 50, 100 and 200 new.
