The Babylonians in Sumer used Shekel as a monetary commodity.
Explanation:
The shekel is the basic unit of monetary value in modern Israel. One shekel is equal to 100 agorot. It is the currency of Israel. Also, it is accepted as a legal tender in the Palestinian territories of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. The current shekel has been in practice following 1 January 1986, when it substituted the old shekel at a ratio of 1000:1.
