Comment from an Orthodox guy who spells it "shequel" that I have an only passing acquaintance with:


We had a year and a half of cheap rent [in Jerusalem] because our rent was in [US]dollars, and we were paid in shequels. The dollar dropped 30% in relation to the shequel.

Interesting that in all the currency talk over the last few years, the devaluation of the USD vs the shekel was never mentioned in the MSM.

Hey, "shequel" sounds like a black girl's name.

What other property can you buy that includes immunity from prosecution for all kinds of financial frauds, though?
