Is it really spelled with a "q" rather than a "k" in English? 71.66.97.228 08:25, 26 July 2010 (UTC)Reply
- It is found with both spellings. In Hebrew, it has a qoph rather than a kaf, but most people pronounce it as though it were a k. —Stephen 08:32, 26 July 2010 (UTC)Reply
- The Israeli coins and banknotes bear inscriptions in Hebrew, Arabic and English. The English inscription reads, "new sheqel" and "new sheqalim", but I know many English speakers prefer "new shekel" and "new shekels". Drork 08:41, 26 July 2010 (UTC)Reply
- PS - In November 2006, The Hebrew Language Academy issued new "simplified" transcription rules for maps and roadsigns. According to these rules, the spelling on the notes should be "new shekel" and "new shkalim", but I think it is up to the Bank of Israel to decide whether it adopts the new rules. So far, I haven't seen any change as far as coins and banknotes are concerned. Drork 08:50, 26 July 2010 (UTC)Reply
