    1) Any coins found in Israel belong to the government, so if they're fresh out of the ground, you're out of luck.
    2) If they're for sale by a street vendor, you can bring them back without any issues, but that's because they're fake.
    3) If they're purchased from a reputable dealer, he should provide the required documentation.
