                        Dear Aysha,


                        Our money has changed so much during these years.
                        Recently, our money is called "real", but our first
coin is was contos de reis, next, cruzeiro, cruzado, cruzado novo, cruzeiro
and real.
                        If you want to know anything more about our money
development, write to me. I will search for you.

Subject:      Money: Israeli money
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

From: Ehud Zemel 

The main unit of our money is called "Shekel" (the plural is called
"Shkalim"). The formal name is "Shekel Hadash" which means New Shekel but
in everyday use you`d say just "Shekel", because it`s shorter. It is
divided to 100 units of "Agora" (plural - "Agorot"). The
Shekel`s international marking is NIS which means New Israeli Shekel.
We have coins of 1/2 Shekel, 1 Shekel, 5 Shekels, a quite new
two-metal coin of 10 Shekels. We also have coins of 10 agorot, 5 agorot
and 1 agora (the last two are not in use, because their value is too
small). We have a 10 Shekels bill, a 20 Shekels bill, a 50 Shekels bill, a
100 Shekels bill and a 200 Shekels bill. Maybe we have more valuable
bills, but I don`t know about them.
On each coinand bill we have the words "BANK ISRAEL" (in hebrew, of
course) - the main bank of Israel.
When Israel was established (in the year 1948) the main coin was called
"Lira". I think it was divided to units of "Grush", but I don`t know how
many Grushim composed a Lira. Then (I don`t know when), because of the
inflation, the Lira was changed to Shekel and after a short time, again
because of the inflation, the Shekel was changed to a new Shekel. I think
the old Lira has the value of about 0.00001 of an Agora of today.

From: Tali Shiff 

Our money is called shkalim.
The names of the bills and coins are: Agurot and Shkalim.The coins reach
10 Shekel and larger amounts of money appear as bills. We have coins of:
10, 50 agurot.Shkalim start from one avd up.
There are words on our coins and bills. On the 10 agurot ther is a menorah
that symbolizes our atonomy. Onthe 50 agurot is the harp which is related
to the the harp of David from the bible.On the bill of 20 shekels there is
the picture of Moshe Sharet, prime minister. On the bill of 50 Shekel the
piccture is of Agnon, an nobel prize hebrew author winner. On the bill of
100 shekels  there is a picture of Yitzak Ben Zvi, second prime minister
of Israel.On our money we do not have marks for the visually impaired.
Money used to be called pounds and was related to the English money. The
coins had a smaller value, starting from 1 Agura. The shapes of the coins
changed as well. The bills had different pictures on them and there value
changed.
These changes took place due to the devaluation of money.The name Pounds
was changed to Shkalim because Shkalim symbolized hebrew momey used during
the times of the first and second temple.

        Dear friends,

        13- How has your money chandeg over the year? Have coins
disappeared?Have there been chands in the bills?

        Until 1942, Brazil (used adopted) in its monetary system the
Portuguese standard, Real, plural form Reis.
        On the Colonization time, 1645, 1646 and 1654 were coined in Brazil,
the first coin.
                They were square , with Roman numeral in the values: III,
VI, and XII Florins by gold, silver and copper.
        In the first half of XIX century the most (comnon usual) coin was by
copper.
        In the Regency period , there were great quantily of false coin.
This motivated the exchange of coins to bill ( paper- currency)
          During Pedro II reing , was used gold , silver and bronze coins.
        The Portuguese Real was abolished in 1942 and replaced for Cruzeiro.
The Brazilian debased coin produced several replacement of currency.
        1942 - Cruzeiro - one cruzeiro - one thousand reis
        1964 - suppression of cents (centavo)
        1967 - creation of new Cruzeiro - 1 new Cruzeiro = 1.000 Cruzeiros
        1970 - return Cruzeiro - 1 Cruzeiro = 1.000 new Cruzeiro
        1986 - creation of Cruzado  - 1 Cruzado =1.000 Cruzeiro
        1989 - creation of new Cruzado - 1 new Cruzado = 1.000 Cruzado
        1990 - return the name Cruzeiro - 1 Cruzeiro = 1 new Cruzado
        1993 - creation of Cruzeiro Real - 1 Cruzeiro Real = 1.000 Cruzeiros
        1994 - creation of Real- 1 Real =2.750 cruzeiros reais
        Before this is created URV (Value Real Unit) a transitory currency
to Real our present currency

        14. Why did these changes take place?

        The inflation and the devaluation motivated all the changes in our
currency.


                                Warmest regards,

DINHEIRO: Passado e Presente


1. O que =E9 dinheiro?
Segundo o Novo Dicion=E1rio Aur=E9lio da L=EDngua Portuguesa, 2=AA edi=E7=E3=
o- editora Nova Fronteira, 1986.
Dinheiro =E9 mercadoria, geralmente, representada por c=E9dulas e moedas que=
 tem cunho oficial e cujo valor =E9 estabelecido como o equivalente que=
 permite a troca por outras mercadorias, de cujo valor comparativo =E9 a=
 medida.

2. Porque se come=E7ou a utilizar o =93dinheiro=94?
O pau-brasil era, na =E9poca do descobrimento, mais ou menos como dinheiro,=
 os ind=EDgenas trocavam a madeira por mi=E7angas, anz=F3is ou outras=
 mercadorias. Com o incremento das viagens =E0 nova terra e o=
 desenvolvimento de n=FAcleos de coloniza=E7=E3o, foi se estabelecendo a=
 circula=E7=E3o monet=E1ria no Brasil. Constitu=EDda pela moedagem=
 portuguesa ent=E3o corrente e por moedas de Prata Espanholas, quando as=
 coroas de Portugal e Espanha se uniram nos s=E9culos XVI e XVII.

3. Descreva algum dinheiro utilizado antigamente.
Durante a ocupa=E7=E3o holandesa no Nordeste Brasileiro (1630 at=E9 1654) ,=
 a Companhia Privilegiada das =CDndias Ocidentais, necessitando pagar os=
 seus fornecedores e tendo suas tropas cercadas no litoral de Pernambuco,=
 resolveu cunhar moedas de emerg=EAncia. Estas moedas tinham formato=
 quadrangular e foram as primeiras moedas de car=E1ter particular aqui no=
 Brasil. Em 1654, a compania cunhou, nos valores de X, XII, XX, XXX, XXXX,=
 soldos de Prata destinados ao pagamento das =FAltimas despesas de seus=
 representantes do Brasil.

4. Imagine um mundo sem dinheiro. Como seria ele?
Seria um sistema de troca que, com certeza, seria irregular, pois algumas=
 pessoas s=E3o mais ing=EAnuas que as outras, favorecendo =E0 mais esperta.

5. Que reino antigo iniciou o sistema de dinheiro?=20
 A moeda foi,  provalvelmente, inventada na China antiga (700 a.c.) pelos=
 =93Lydians=94 que est=E3o agora na Turquia. A nota tamb=E9m foi inventada=
 pela China.

7. Que pa=EDs da Europa foi o primeiro a imprimir papel moeda? Por que levou=
 tanto tempo para a Europa usar papel moeda?=20
Portugal. Os portugueses precisaram do papel moeda devido ao decl=EDnio do=
 ouro e a insufici=EAncia de moedas em circula=E7=E3o, o Principe Regente,=
 ent=E3o criou um banco p=FAblico para dep=F3sitos, descontos e emiss=E3o.
=20
8. O que =E9 a casa da moeda? Onde ela fica localizada em seu pa=EDs?
A casa da moeda era destinada a cunhar todo o meio circulante existente e a=
 fabrica=E7=E3o de moedas provinciais de ouro e prata.
A primeira casa da moeda no Brasil surgiu em 1694 e era localizada na cidade=
 de Salvador, no estado da Bahia. Mas esta casa deslocava-se de acordo com=
 as nesssecidades regionais. Cinco anos depois, transferiu-se para o Rio de=
 Janeiro e, no ano seguinte, para Pernambuco. Em 1702, retornou de vez para=
 o Rio de Janeiro, em decorr=EAncia da descoberta de ouro na regi=E3o=
 central da Col=F4nia.

9. Que imagens s=E3o encontradas no dinheiro? Por que voc=EA acha que elas=
 s=E3o colocadas no dinheiro?
Algumas de nossas moedas j=E1 tiveram personalidades brasileiras: Pedro=
 Alvares Cabral, descobridor do Brasil, D. Pedro II, =FAltimo Imperador do=
 Brasil, Santos Dumont, o pai da avia=E7=E3o e outros mais. Ultimamente, a=
 nota brasileira tem sido mais ilustrada com motivos da fauna nacional.=
 Provavelmente, pela rapidez na aprova=E7=E3o legal do =93lay-out=94 .=20

10. Como se chama a sua moeda?
Atualmente Real. Ele foi institu=EDdo pela Lei no. 8.880, de 27 de maio de=
 1994 e dividido em 100 centavos. Ao contr=E1rio do que ocorreu em outras=
 mudan=E7as monet=E1rias, a nova unidade n=E3o implicou em corte de zeros ou=
 carimbagem de c=E9dulas de padr=E3o anterior. O Banco Central do Brasil=
 conseguiu, dentro de um curto per=EDodo, a substitui=E7=E3o das notas=
 circulantes.


Dinheiro em seu pa=EDs

11. Conte-nos sobre os nomes das notas e moedas e quem/o que aparece nelas.=
 Voc=EA sabe porque essas imagens est=E3o l=E1?
As primeiras moedas de ouro cunhadas no Brasil pela Casa da Moeda na Bahia,=
 entre 1695 e 1698, para uso exclusivo da col=F4nia eram de 1000, 2000,=
 4000$ reais e as de 30 e 20 reais eram chamadas de patacas.
No caso do Real, nossa moeda atual, todos os valores tem estampada a ef=EDgi=
e da Rep=FAblica cujo desenho j=E1 havia sido utilizado em 1989 na c=E9lula=
 de 200 cruzados novos e, no ano seguinte, na de 200 cruzeiros. No reverso,=
 traziam a figura de esp=E9cimes da fauna brasileira.
A de um Real, estampa a figura de um beija-flor, tamb=E9m aproveitado nas=
 c=E9dulas de 100 mil cruzeiros, de 1992. Nas demais est=E3o estampados=
 desenhos da gar=E7a, arara, on=E7a pintada e garoupa.

12. Existem palavras em suas moedas/notas ? Quais s=E3o elas e o que elas=
 significam? Existe alguma marca em relevo em sua moeda/nota ?
Sim. Geralmente na moeda tem o numero, a data e o valor em alto relevo, para=
 que seja poss=EDvel ser indentificada por cegos. No seu verso est=E1 a=
 ef=EDgie da Rep=FAblica e, =E9 claro, embaixo est=E1 o nome do Brasil, em=
 alto relevo tamb=E9m. Na nota de um real, no canto esquerdo, h=E1 um lugar=
 com dois pontos tamb=E9m em relevo.=20
Na frente tem a ef=EDgie da Rep=FAblica, seguida, ao lado direito, com duas=
 assinaturas; do Ministro da Fazenda e do Presidente do Banco Central do=
 Brasil, de onde todas as notas vem. A baixo, do lado direito est=E1 um=
 c=F3digo informando o n=BA da s=E9rie da nota. Do lado esquerdo no meio,=
 botando a nota contra a luz, se v=EA de novo a ef=EDgie e uma linha preta,=
 que possibilita saber se a nota =E9 falsificada. No verso tem uma foto=
 t=EDpica de um animal da fauna brasileira, o beija flor.


Seu Dinheiro: Como ele mudou atrav=E9s dos anos?


13. Como o dinheiro em seu Pa=EDs mudou atrav=E9s dos anos? H=E1 moedas que=
 desapareceram? Houve mudan=E7a nas notas?=20
O Brasil tem vivido grandes mudan=E7as no plano econ=F4mico, especialmente=
 nos =FAltimos 10 anos. Por este motivo, muitas moedas desapareceram, entre=
 elas o R=E9is, o Cruzeiro, o Cruzeiro Novo, o Cruzado e outros.

14. Por que essas mudan=E7as ocorreram?
O Brasil sempre sofreu processos crescentes de infla=E7=E3o em sua economia.=
 Assim, a cada governo tem sido apresentada uma proposta que equilibre=
 alguma estabilidade entre custo de vida e sal=E1rios.=20
