The old Sheqel did have a symbol. It was a stylistic Shin shaped like a cradle (i.e. rounded and pointing downwards). This symbol appeared on checks issued by Israeli banks between 1980 and 1985. Quoting prices in New Sheqels started officially on January 1, 1986, and the old Sheqel checks remained unused had to be stamped with The New Sheqel symbol over the old symbol.
