The name agora refers to the subunits of three distinct Israeli currencies.. This name was used for the first time in 1960, when the Israeli government decided to change the subdivision of the Israeli pound (Hebrew: לירה, lira) from 1,000 prutah to 100 agorot due to the currency's depreciation. [2]
The Israeli pound (לירה ישראלית, "lira yisraelit") was the currency of the State of Israel from June 1952 until it was replaced with the shekel on 24 February 1980. From 1955, after the Bank of Israel was established and took over the duty of issuing banknotes , only the Hebrew name was used, along with the symbol "IL". [ 8 ]

The old Israeli shekel, , in circulation between 1980 and 1985, had a different symbol, which was officially announced on 18 March 1980. [3] Before the introduction of the old shekel in 1980, there was no special symbol for the Israeli currency. It was a stylized Shin shaped like a cradle (i.e. rounded and opening upward).
