Editing Israeli new shekel (section)

=== Series B (1999–2017) ===
The Second series of bank notes was released in 1999, replacing the first series by 2005. A plan to issue a {{nowrap|₪500}} banknote, carrying the portrait of [[Yitzhak Rabin]], was announced shortly after Rabin's assassination in 1995. However, due to low inflation rates, there was no need for such a banknote and it was never issued.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.collect.co.il/objects/articles/03/0301/500_nis.jpg|title=The 500 NIS banknote that was never released (Obverse)|access-date=19 September 2010|archive-date=23 March 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210323082957/http://www.collect.co.il/objects/articles/03/0301/500_nis.jpg|url-status=dead}}</ref>
