In 1985, coins in denominations of 1&nbsp;agora, 5&nbsp;agorot, 10&nbsp;agorot, ₪{{frac|2}}, and ₪1 were introduced.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.bankisrael.gov.il/catal/eng/cat_all_eng.htm?series_num=25&series_name=Agora%20and%20New%20Shekel%20Series|title=About the Agora and New Shekel Series|access-date=26 December 2007|work=Banknotes and Coins Catalog|publisher=[[Bank of Israel]]}}{{Dead link|date=February 2023 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> In 1990, ₪5 coins were introduced,<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.bankisrael.gov.il/catal/eng/bill_all_eng.htm?series_num=25&series_name=Agora%20and%20New%20Shekel%20Series&pg_name=c040&pg_kot=5%20NEW%20SHEQALIM |title=5 NEW SHEQALIM |access-date=26 December 2007 |work=Banknotes and Coins Catalog |publisher=The Bank of Israel }}{{Dead link|date=February 2023 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> followed by ₪10 coins in 1995.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.bankisrael.gov.il/catal/eng/bill_all_eng.htm?series_num=25&series_name=Agora%20and%20New%20Shekel%20Series&pg_name=c041&pg_kot=10%20NEW%20SHEQALIM |title=10&nbsp;NEW SHEQALIM |access-date=26 December 2007 |work=Banknotes and Coins Catalog |publisher=The Bank of Israel }}{{Dead link|date=February 2023 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> Production of 1&nbsp;agora pieces ceased in 1990, and they were [[Withdrawal of low-denomination coins|removed from circulation]] on 1 April 1991.{{citation needed|date=December 2007}} A ₪2 coin was introduced on 9 December 2007.<ref name="2sheqalim">{{cite press release |url=http://www.bankisrael.gov.il/press/eng/070708/070708e.htm |title=The new NIS 2 coin |access-date=26 December 2007 |date=8 July 2007 |publisher=The Bank of Israel |archive-date=5 November 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111105062944/http://www.bankisrael.gov.il/press/eng/070708/070708e.htm |url-status=dead }}</ref> The 5&nbsp;agorot coin, last minted in 2007, was removed from circulation on 1 January 2008.<ref name="5agorot">{{cite web|url=http://www.boi.org.il/he/Currency/PublicEnquiries/Pages/CancellationOf5Cents.aspx|title=Cancellation of the 5&nbsp;agora coin.|language=he|access-date=4 September 2016|date=1 January 2008|publisher=The Bank of Israel|archive-date=6 May 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160506055943/http://boi.org.il/he/Currency/PublicEnquiries/Pages/CancellationOf5Cents.aspx|url-status=dead}}</ref>

In April 2011, it was reported that new coins would be minted that would use less metal and thus lower costs. Counterfeiting would also be harder.<ref>[http://www.calcalist.co.il/local/articles/0,7340,L-3515589,00.html Tomer Avital's report] in [[Calcalist]], 21 April 2011 (Hebrew)</ref> The Bank of Israel is considering dropping the word "new" on the planned coins series. If approved, this would be the first replacement of all coins since the introduction of the new shekel coins in September 1985.<ref>[http://www.ynet.co.il/articles/0,7340,L-4059359,00.html Gad Lior's report] in [[Ynet]], 21 April 2011</ref> The coins are minted by the [[Korea Minting and Security Printing Corporation]] (KOMSCO).<ref name="komsco1"/>

In 2022, the Bank of Israel announced a new series of coins featuring updated inscriptions for its coins, with "new shekels" replacing "new sheqalim". The 5 and 10 new shekel coins will be the first to feature the new inscriptions, and the 10 agorot and {{frac|2}} new shekel coins will feature its unit names rendered in Arabic.<ref>[https://www.boi.org.il/en/communication-and-publications/press-releases/update-of-the-inscription-on-circulating-coins/ Update of the inscription on circulating coins] [[Bank of Israel]] (https://www.boi.org.il).
