The 20-new shekel denomination is Israel's first polymer note. - The cost of producing a polymer note is said to be 50% more expensive than using paper, but polymer notes are more durable. - If the trial run of 20 million notes succeeds, the Bank of Israel will consider issuing other denominations in polymer. Older paper notes will continue to circulate and will not expire.
