Issue

The shekel in Noto Hebrew is not the same as the shekel in Noto LGC.

And the shekel in Noto Serif LGC still uses what appears to be a sans version while also looking different than the shekel that's actually in Noto Sans LGC.

In fact, the shekel is the only currency symbol in the currency Unicode block that's not serif in Noto Serif LGC. With the exception of maybe ₼ and ₶ which I'm not familiar with.

Also worth noting is that the shekel in Noto Rashi Hebrew is exactly the same as Noto Serif Hebrew. I'm not sure if that's right or wrong.

EDIT: If anything gets changed here, then Noto Sans Mono might have to receive a similar change as well.
Also, should ₼ be added to Noto Arabic?

Character data

U+20AA ₪
