What does PRUTA mean in Scrabble?
noun
historical
A former monetary unit of Israel, equal to one-thousandth of an Israeli pound, in use from 1949 until 1960.
Israel introduced the pruta as small change soon after gaining independence, when the Israeli pound became the national currency. Coins worth one, five, ten, twenty-five, and fifty pruta circulated for everyday purchases until the government replaced the entire system with the agora in 1960. The plural form prutot appears on some of the coins themselves, reflecting the word's Hebrew origin.
