I have started this collection about 10 years ago and now I have rather interesting numismatic stuff from that country. </p><p>First of all, I must to tell about the Israeli monetary system. </p><p>When Israel became the independent country (at May 14 1948) the First government has decided to make an own Israeli currency. So, at April 6 1949 a new coins with the face value of 25 mils were released (but it were a coins with the date &quot;1948&quot; and with the date &quot;1949&quot; on reverse).</p><p>The mintage of a first Israeli coins was not very numerous - 693000 pcs only.</p><p>At the same year (1949) Israeli government has released the new types of coins - Lirah. So lirah became the new national currency. 1 lirah = 1000 prutah. This monetary system has existed until January 1 1958.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
