Shekel Replaces Israel Pound
JERUSALEM (JTA) —
Israel had a new currency
Sunday, the shekel, named
for the silver coin of the
Bible that was last in use
some 2,000 years ago. The
change-over from the
pound, which has been Is-
rael's official currency since
the state was founded, was
announced by the govern-
ment last Friday.
At the same time, the
government announced
tough new measures to
crack down on tax evasion
with severe penalties for
violators.
Israelis were required to
trade in their pounds for
"shkalim" at the rate of 10
to one last Sunday. The
pound will be phased out
over the next few months,
but will remain legal tender
along with the shekel until
then.
The IL 50 note will be-
come a five shekel note
with the portrait of
Chaim Weizman and
Theodor Herzl's portrait
will continue to mark the
10 shekel note, prev-
iously IL 100. The long
anticipated IL 1,000
pound note bearing the
portrait of Revisionist
leader Vladimir
Jabotinski will be issued
next fall as a 100 shekel
note.

New coins will be minted
to replace the current IL 1
and IL .50 coins, but much
lighter metal will be used
saving the government IL
130 million in the current
year.
The amount of foreign
currency that Israelis can
legally hold was reduced
from $3,000 per year to
$500.
There was a significant
drop in stock prices al-
though cost-of-living
linked bonds held their
ground. Foreign ex-
change rates rose in re-
sponse to a surge of de-
mand for foreign curren-
cies.
The U.S. dollar soared
from a rate of IL 38.8-$1 to
IL 42-$1 and the German
mark also rose against the
pound. But the government
made it clear that the
change of currency was not
a new devaluation. The
shekel will be pegged at
3.80-$1.
The new tax law will re-
quire a one-time declara-
tion of assets by all citizens
except low to moderately
paid wage-earners. The
deadline for filing the dec-
larations is May. Persons
who earned less than IL
660,000 during fiscal
1979-1980 are exempt.
Bank notes presently in
circulation will be trans-
lated into shkalim with no
change in their appearance.
The IL 500 note will become
a 50 shekel note but will
continue to bear the portrait
of David Ben-Gurion, Is-
rael's first prime minister.
