shkls

Shkls is a transliteration variant sometimes used in English to refer to the plural of shekel, the currency unit used in Israel. It is not an official spelling. In standard English, the plural is shekels. The form shkls may appear in informal writing, online price quotes, or headlines, but it is uncommon in formal financial reporting.

The modern Israeli currency is the new Israeli shekel, abbreviated NIS and with the ISO code ILS. It is subdivided into 100 agorot. The currency is issued by the Bank of Israel and is used as the monetary unit of Israel. The symbol ₪ is widely used on price displays and in financial contexts. Exchange rates for ILS are tracked against major world currencies.

Coins and banknotes are issued in several denominations. In general terms, coins cover low-value agorot and higher-value shekels, while banknotes come in higher fixed amounts. Commonly circulated banknotes include 20, 50, 100, and 200 shekels. The arrangement of denominations and designs has evolved over time to reflect security features and changes in banknote technology. Prices and contracts may be denominated in NIS or ILS, with the term “shekel” appearing in legal or formal contexts and “shekel/Shekels” used in everyday speech.

In summary, shkls is a nonstandard plural form for the currency in ordinary English usage, with the official and widely accepted term being shekels. The currency most often described as shkls in casual contexts is the New Israeli Shekel (ILS).
