The money changers were in the Temple to convert various currencies into one standard coinage, the Tyrian shekel, that was used for the payment of the already-mentioned Temple tax. The worshippers used the moneyers’ services to exchange their baser common currency for the high-quality silver shekels, and it can be safely assumed that the money changers’ tables were full of these coins. For example, Roman coinage was generally only 80% silver while the Tyrian silver was 94% or more pure. Last, the same shekels are believed to be the infamous “30 pieces of silver” paid from the Temple treasury to Judas for his betrayal of Jesus (Matthew 26:14-15). This is confirmed by a 2nd century compilation of the Jewish oral law, which states, “Silver, whenever mentioned in the Pentateuch, is Tyrian silver” (Tosefta Ketubot 13, 20). The most intriguing fact about these shekels however is that they depict Melqart, the patron deity of Tyre, a possible contradiction to the Jewish law regarding graven images as well as the question of the coins’ holy purpose. There are no definite answers to this phenomenon, yet some believe that money was and still is outside that code, which in general is an intriguing notion. Lepta (sg. Lepton) were the low-quality bronze coins minted by the Hasmonean Dynasty in the 1st century BCE. They were the smallest, almost worthless coins still in circulation in the time of Jesus. Many believe that these were the coins mentioned in the story of the poor widow who gave two small copper coins to the treasury while Jesus was watching (Mark 12:41-44). Because of that reference, they are commonly referred to as “Widow’s Mites.” The fourth coin is cited in the story of the Roman Tax, and thus often called “the Tribute Penny” (Mark 12:14-17). The coin was shown to Jesus when he made his famous speech “Render unto Caesar…” (Matthew 22:21). The phrase comes after Jesus was asked, “Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?” (Mark 12:14) and he replied, “Bring me a denarius [δηνάριον] and let me look at it” (Mark 12:15). Based on many clues, the Roman silver denarius minted by the Emperor Tiberius (14-37) is considered to be that coin.
