a half lira note!!! wow, that would be what 20th of an old shekel? which is what of a NIS? Kewl.


Az - last time I was in Eretz, the Shekel had just been introduced, and lira coins still circulated. It was the height of the inflatziya. And yeah, the Likud folks had taken away all those old bolshie looking notes.

I would like it if the new $1 coins became popular, I hate it when my crumpled up bill won't go into the vending machine.

Oh, and the Minnesota quarter is out.

Proletarians are urban poor, you doof. Farmers aren't proletarians.

of course the above author is, properly, using rural proletariat for landless rural wage laborers. I agree its problematic for Kibbutzniks.

I can't remember a single good Likud year, EVER, and there have been quite a few Likud years in the last 2 decades.

actually Dayan was pretty old at the time. This was the 1981 election - Dayan ran on his own ticket, and only picked up 2 MKs, IIRC.

The highlight of the year was a French Jewish businessman in flight from fraud charges, who ran for the knesset on his own list to gain parliamentary immunity from extradition. Flatto-Sharon IIRC. (no relation)

The lowlights were rumbling ethnic conflict, with mizrahi youth harassing Labour rallies, and the victory by the first nationalist-religious coalition ('77 having still had centrists playing a big role in the coalition)

IIRC, these are actually two different series of notes. The former being the later in chronological order. The second one really rules though: It has commie pics of the farmer (above), and also of the factory worker, the fisherman, and the scientist, IIRC.

Even Einstein doesn't reach that level of 'cool'.
