Converting from Zambian Kwacha (ZMK) to Israeli Shekel (ILS)

What is Zambian Kwacha (ZMK)

The Zambian Kwacha (ZMK) is the official currency of Zambia, a country located in Southern Africa. Introduced in 1968, the Kwacha replaced the Zambian Pound at a rate of 1 Kwacha to 2 Pounds. The name "Kwacha" means "dawn" in the Nyanja language, symbolizing new beginnings.

ZMK is subdivided into 100 ngwee, which means "a small coin" in Bemba. The currency is issued by the Bank of Zambia, the nation’s central bank. The banknotes come in various denominations, with the most commonly used notes being 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, and 100 ZMK. Coins in circulation include 1, 5, 10, 50 ngwee, and 1 Kwacha.

The value of the Zambian Kwacha has experienced fluctuations due to various economic factors, including inflation rates and changes in the global economy. For individuals or businesses wishing to convert ZMK to other currencies, including the Israeli Shekel, understanding the current exchange rates is critical.

What is Israeli Shekel (ILS)

The Israeli Shekel (ILS), known locally as "shekel," is the official currency of Israel and is also used in the Palestinian territories. The shekel has a rich historical background, with its roots tracing back to ancient times. The modern Israeli Shekel was introduced in 1985, replacing the old shekel at a rate of 1 new shekel to 1,000 old shekels.

The Shekel is subdivided into 100 agorot. The Bank of Israel is responsible for issuing and regulating the currency. Current banknotes include 20, 50, 100, and 200 ILS, while coins come in denominations of 10 agorot, 0.1, 0.5, 1, 2, 5, and 10 shekels.

As with the ZMK, the value of the Israeli Shekel can fluctuate against other currencies, including the Zambian Kwacha. Economic factors, such as interest rates, trade balances, and political stability, play a significant role in determining the exchange rate between these two currencies.
