Yoram E. Shamir to me show details 6:42 AM (18 hours ago) Title : Every Pruta – a Piece of Land Dan, Will the average American know what is Pruta? This small coin is not used anymore in Israel. Should we use –cent? Every Cent – a Piece of Land The term Pruta is used in the text of this poster. Pruta was used between 1950-60. The picture shows a 50 mils coin, used 1927-Sep 1948. I think this poster was published during the mandate. Pruta in the text refers to a biblical term , not to the actual currency used at the time.
