The ATMs in Israel will dispense in dollars, Euros, or NewShekels. A
far cry from the time I lived there in the 1960s when non-Israeli
currency was available only on the Lilienbloom Street "private market"
which in fact was supported by the Bank of Israel but one had to go
through a "doorway transaction" suitable for a B-movie scene....and
the exchange rate "on the street" was published on Page 2 of the
papers right next to the official banking exchange rate !
