The
Palestine pound (,
junyah filastini; ,
funt palestina'i (eretz-yisra'eli), also
lira eretz-yisra'elit) was the
currency of the
British Mandate of Palestine from 1927 to May 14, 1948, and of the State of
Israel between May 15, 1948, and August 1948, when it was replaced with the
Israeli lira. It was divided into 1000
mils (Arabic: , Hebrew: ). The
Palestine pound was also the currency of
Transjordan until 1949 and remained in usage in the
West Bank portion of Palestine until 1950.
