Sap Moderator Australia 16829 Posts	Posted 08/18/2009 11:28 am The official languages in Israel are Hebrew and Arabic, though English is likely to be spoken by a significant proportion of the population. All three languages can be found on their coins, though it is the Hebrew script that is distinctively Israeli, as many other nations have English and Arabic or Arabic-looking script on their coins. The "plastic-sounding metal" will probably be aluminium. Several Israeli coin types from the 1960s to the 1980's were struck from aluminium. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 08/18/2009 11:30 am Hebrew is the main language spoken in Israel, along with some Arabic, English, and Russian. As far as coin composition, Israel has used many different metals over the years- silver, aluminum, aluminum-bronze, bronze, copper-nickel, etc but I do not know of any plastic coins. If it is really lightweight, then the coin is probably aluminum. Report this Post to the Staff
