Bank notes from Israel
In September 1985, banknotes were introduced in denominations of 1, 5, 10, 20 and 50 ILS. The 1, 5 and 10 ILS notes used the same basic designs as the earlier 1,000, 5,000 and 10,000 shqalim notes but with the denominations altered. In 1986, 100 ILS notes were introduced, followed by 200 ILS notes in 1991. The 1, 5 and 10 ILS notes were later replaced by coins. A plan to issue a 500 ILS banknote, carrying the portrait of Yitzhak Rabin, was announced shortly after Rabin's assassination in 1995. However, due to low inflation rates, there was no need for such a banknote, and it was never issued. However, in February 2008 the Bank of Israel announced that planning of an entirely new series of banknotes has started, and that the new series to be issued as from 2010, will most probably include a 500 ILS banknote as well. The design of the new banknotes has not yet been determined, but if the 20 ILS polymer banknote of the current series, introduced in April 2008, will be successful, the new series will almost certainly consist of polymer notes only. Possible designs under review are: non-political famous personalities, such as Teddy Kollek (the legendary mayor of Jerusalem), Rabbi Shlomo Goren (IDF chief chaplain during the 1967 Six-Day War, famous for his ram's horn blowing on Jerusalem's Temple Mount minutes after its conquest by Israeli forces), Ilan Ramon (Israel's first astronaut who perished on the Columbia in 2002, together with his seven fellow-astronauts), Naomi Shemer (known as "First Lady of Israeli Song"). Other possible designs include Landscapes of Israel, Flora and Fauna of Israel. The 20 ILS banknote is the first, as of April 2008, to be made of polypropylene, a polymer substrate, which is superior to the current paper note with a circulation life of a few months only. The polymer note is printed by Orell Fuessli Security Printing of Zürich, Switzerland. million of the new banknotes were printed with the writing "60 years to Israel" (in Hebrew), i
