history [edit ]
The list agora actually refers to three kinds of currencies that were used in Israel throughout its history. All of them have been subdivisions of the main currency units. This identify was used for the foremost time in 1960, when the israeli government decided to change the section of the Israeli lira ( a.k.a. Israeli pound ) from 1000 prutot to 100 agorot. [ 1 ] The name was suggested by the Academy of the Hebrew Language, and was borrowed from the Hebrew Bible :
Reading: Israeli agora – Wikipedia
וְהָיָה כָּל-הַנּוֹתָר בְּבֵיתְךָ יָבוֹא לְהִשְׁתַּחֲוֹת לוֹ לַ אֲגוֹרַת כֶּסֶף וְכִכַּר-לָחֶם … every one that is left in thine house shall come and crouch to him for a piece of silver medal and a loiter of bread … — I Samuel 2:36 The term “ slice of silver ” appears in Hebrew as “ agorat kessef “.
In 1980 the Israeli lira was abolished and replaced by the shekel at a rate of 10 IP per 1 shekel. The newly branch of the shekel was named agora ẖadaša ( “ newfangled agora ” ). There were 100 new agorot in 1 shekel. The high gear rate of inflation in Israel in the early on 1980s forced the israeli government to change the israeli currency once again in 1985. The new shekel was introduced at a rate of 1000 S per 1 NS. The mention agora was used once again for its subdivision. This clock time the term “ modern ” was avoided, in club to prevent confusion with the older subsection ( the pre-1980 agora was long since out of circulation ). presently, the term agora refers to the hundredth region of the newly shekel. There are coins of 10 and 50 agorot, though the 50 agorot coin bears the inscription : “ 1⁄2 New Shekel ”. A mint of 1 agora was in use until April 1, 1991 [ 2 ] and a coin of 5 agorot was in practice until January 1, 2008 when the Bank of Israel decided to cease production. This was due to the costs spent on its production which well exceeded the coin ‘s value. today, when paying in cash, the price must be rounded to the nearest multiple of 10 agorot. When buying respective items, the attack is done for the total summarize. There is no rounding when paying with cheques, credit cards or bank orders .
