| Comments |
The "Walks of Life" series was Bank of Israel's first domestically printed currency, produced at the Currency Branch in Jerusalem after the state concluded it could manage production without relying on foreign printers. That decision was partly economic, partly political — a young country still defining its institutions had obvious reasons to internalize something as fundamental as printing its own money.
P#30 circulated heavily and wore out fast. Low-denomination notes always do, and surviving examples in anything above circulated grades are genuinely harder to source than the series' higher values.
