About US Dollar and Israeli Shekel
Used in: United States, Ecuador, El Salvador, Panama, Zimbabwe
The US dollar has been the world's primary reserve currency since the Bretton Woods Agreement of 1944. It replaced the British pound as the dominant global currency after World War II. Today over 88% of all global forex transactions involve the USD.
About 65% of all global foreign currency reserves are held in US dollars. The dollar bill features the phrase 'In God We Trust' — added in 1957 during the Cold War.
Used in: Israel, Palestinian Territories
The new Israeli shekel (NIS) was introduced in 1985, replacing the hyperinflated old shekel at 1000:1. Israel's economy has transformed into a high-tech hub — 'Start-Up Nation' — with significant tech export revenues supporting the shekel.
Israel has one of the highest concentrations of tech startups per capita in the world. ILS is influenced by tech sector performance, US relations, and geopolitical events in the Middle East region.

Converting US Dollar to Israeli Shekel — Tips
Forex market liquidity peaks between 3–4 PM GMT (London–New York overlap). Converting during this window typically gives tighter spreads. Avoid weekends — markets are closed and Monday opening rates can gap significantly.
Tuesdays–Thursdays generally show the most stable rates. Monday mornings can be volatile as markets digest weekend news. Friday afternoons often see positioning ahead of weekend closures.
If you need to convert a large amount, monitor the rate and set an alert for your target. Rates can vary 1–3% within a month — on $10,000 that's $100–300 difference.
