If you’re going to be touring another city or country, it’s always good to carry some \u05db\u05b6\u05bc\u05e1\u05b6\u05e3<\/span> with you. So you go to a \u05d1\u05b7\u05bc\u05e0\u05b0\u05e7<\/span>. There, you can cash or deposit a \u05d4\u05de\u05d7\u05d0\u05d4<\/span> or \u05dc\u05de\u05e9\u05d5\u05da<\/span>\u00a0some \u05db\u05b6\u05bc\u05e1\u05b6\u05e3<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Israeli Currency<\/h3>\n

The \u05e9\u05b6\u05c1\u05e7\u05b6\u05dc \u05d7\u05b8\u05d3\u05b8\u05e9\u05c1<\/span> is the currency of Israel and has been in circulation since 1985. They come in denominations of 1\/2, 1, 5, 10 shekel coins and 10, 20, 50, 100 and 200 shekel \u05e9\u05b0\u05c1\u05d8\u05b8\u05e8\u05d5\u05b9\u05ea<\/span>.<\/p>\n

When Does The Bank Open?<\/h3>\n

Recently there’s been some important holidays celebrated in Israel., so to be sure the \u05d1\u05b7\u05bc\u05e0\u05b0\u05e7<\/span> is open, you ask: \u05de\u05b8\u05ea\u05b7\u05d9 \u05e4\u05bc\u05d5\u05b9\u05ea\u05d7\u05b4\u05d9\u05dd \u05d0\u05b6\u05ea \u05d4\u05d1\u05b7\u05bc\u05e0\u05b0\u05e7?<\/span><\/p>\n

Generally the banks are open Sunday – Tuesday and on Thursday from 8:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and from 4 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. On Wednesday and Friday and holy day evenings, they’re open from 8:30 a.m. to noon.<\/p>\n

Changing dollars to shekels<\/h3>\n

I need to change some \u05d3\u05d5\u05b9\u05dc\u05b8\u05e8\u05b4\u05d9\u05dd<\/span> to \u05e9\u05b6\u05c1\u05e7\u05b6\u05dc \u05d7\u05b8\u05d3\u05b8\u05e9\u05c1<\/span> (abbreviated as NIS – the symbol is \u20aa). There’s a Union Bank<\/a> on Ahuzat Bayit 8 to do the exchange. Most banks have a board or poster showing the current \u05e9\u05b7\u05c1\u05e2\u05b7\u05e8 \u05d7\u05b2\u05dc\u05b4\u05d9\u05e4\u05b4\u05d9\u05df<\/span>. At the time I wrote this post, it is $1 = \u20aa3.79.<\/p>\n

Go up to the \u05db\u05b7\u05bc\u05e1\u05b0\u05e4\u05b8\u05bc\u05e8<\/span>and say
\n\u05d0\u05e0\u05d9 \u05e8\u05d5\u05e6\u05d4 \u05dc\u05d4\u05d7\u05dc\u05d9\u05e3 \u05db\u05e1\u05e3<\/span><\/p>\n

Whenever you exchange money or cash a \u05d4\u05b7\u05de\u05b0\u05d7\u05b8\u05d0\u05b7\u05ea \u05e0\u05d5\u05b9\u05e1\u05b0\u05e2\u05b4\u05d9\u05dd<\/span> you’ll need to show some \u05ea\u05b0\u05bc\u05e2\u05d5\u05bc\u05d3\u05b7\u05ea \u05d6\u05b6\u05d4\u05d5\u05bc\u05ea<\/span>, such as your \u05d3\u05e8\u05db\u05d5\u05df<\/span> or \u05e8\u05b4\u05d9\u05e9\u05c1\u05d9\u05d5\u05b9\u05df \u05e0\u05b0\u05d4\u05b4\u05d9\u05d2\u05b8\u05d0<\/span>. The \u05db\u05b7\u05bc\u05e1\u05b0\u05e4\u05b8\u05bc\u05e8<\/span> (teller) will ask:<\/p>\n

\u05d4\u05d0\u05dd \u05d9\u05e9 \u05dc\u05da \u05ea\u05e2\u05d5\u05d3\u05ea \u05d6\u05d4\u05d5\u05ea?<\/span><\/p>\n

For now, I’ll exchange $200, giving me \u20aa758.40 (there may also be a \u05d3\u05b8\u05bc\u05de\u05b4\u05d9 \u05e2\u05b4\u05e1\u05b0\u05e7\u05b8\u05d4<\/span>). Now that I have some \u05db\u05e1\u05e3<\/span>, where to go first?<\/p>\n
