Israel- it is a denomination of Israeli currency. Shekels had been used as currency in ancient times, but were discontinued in around 135 AD. The New State of Israel revived the Shekel in 1980 to replace the Israeli Pound- due to hyperinflation, this was replaced in 1985 with the New Israeli Shekel, which remains currency to this day. It's equivalent value as of July 2017 is $3.77 US dollars, or £5.15 pounds sterling.
