Ahead of the entry into circulation of the new 200-NIS banknote - the second in the new series of banknotes - the Bank of Israel delivered first samples of the banknotes to manufacturers, suppliers and operators of vending, counting and sorting machines, who are required to calibrate their machines to accept the new banknote. This step is part of a process aimed at enabling these entities to prepare in advance, technically and operationally, for the entry of the new series of banknotes into circulation. Samples of the banknotes were provided to enable the calibration of the machines, as was also done prior to the introduction into circulation of the new 50 NIS banknote in September 2014.  Before the new 200 NIS banknote enters circulation, the bank will publish the final and detailed design of the banknote, as well as comprehensive explanatory information about the security features incorporated into it. The Bank of Israel notes that the existing banknotes will continue to be used by the public, and a period of several years will be given during which it will be possible to replace the existing banknotes with the new banknotes. םרטי השטר החדש בעריך 200 ₪: העריך: 200 שקלים חדשים, הדיוקן (אופקי): נתן אלתרמן, הצבע השליט: כחול, מידות: 150 מ"מ X 71 מ"מ, תמונות הרקע בחזית השטר: עלי שלכת, טקסט זעיר בחזית השטר (אינו נראה אלא באמצעות זכוכית מגדלת): השיר: "פגישה לאין קץ". תמונות הרקע בגב השטר: צמחייה בליל ירח, טקסט בגב השטר: קטע מתוך השיר "שיר בוקר". סימנים לעיוורים: אורך שונה לכל עריך – הפרש של 7 מ"מ; סימן ייחודי לכל עריך מודפס בשולי השטר בדיו בולטת ושקופה שניתנת למישוש. שטר
