While you can go to your nearest bank or change place and buy Shekels, it is important to note that you will be charged a lot in fees. However, if you are traveling to Israel and need Shekels, there are numerous ways to send the money to Israel to be converted for you. If you have a small amount of cash, go to a change place. If you have a large amount of money, it is best to send it through a bank wire transfer.

You can use a service such as IsraTransfer (www.isratransfer.com) for bank transfers which offers better than bank rates (they have a deal with the bank they use to get wholesale rates) and you can find a list of change places by searching Google.


Good luck!

Maybe you can buy the crumbs of felafel off of someone's shirt for a shekel, but generally, a shekel is too small of an amount of money to buy anything. It is barely worth more than a USD quarter and Israeli prices are roughly the same as US prices. A bottle of soda or a bag of chips might cost between 3-7 shekels.
