For those of you who collect Israeli notes (or I might be the only one who has them?), Israel will be issuing new polymer notes in 2012 with new portraits

Yes, they're throwing out the oldies that are on today's notes, and replacing them with Herzel, Begin, Ben Gurion, and Yitzhak Rabin

It's about time that they got Rabin on the currency, the man did so much. For those who don't know, he was prime minister from 1992 to 1995, when he was assassinated at a peace rally
