It depends on which shekel (weight unit or currency) you are referring to.

Shekel (sheqel, Akkadian: šiqlu or siqlu, Hebrew: שקל‎, pl. shekels, sheqels, sheqalim, Hebrew: שקלים‎), is any of several ancient units of weight or of currency. The first usage is from Mesopotamia around 3000 BC. Initially, it may have referred to a weight of barley. This shekel was about 180 grains (11 grams or .35 troy ounces). As with many ancient units, the shekel had a variety of values depending on era, government and region; weights between 9 and 17 grams, and values of 11, 14, and 17 grams are common.

Since 1980, the shekel has been the currency of the modern state of Israel.

That depends what you buy with the 5000 shekels.

Shekels (NIS) is a currency not a unit of weight.
