Used During Bible Times
The Bible has more references about money and

by weights of precious metals. Pre-weighed metal coins that had the same names
as weight units then replaced the need to weigh the metal for each transaction.
In the New Testament, Greek and Roman coins were circulating in the
These pages attempt to gather the Bible
references about money. Many of the current English translations don't give the
Hebrew, Greek or Roman coin names.

Please e-mail me with questions or
corrections. Please note however that I am not a coin collector. I have no
collection of ancient or modern coins. From the little that I have read, coins
related to the Bible are in great demand, and are relatively high priced,
especially compared to other ancient coins. There are many Internet sites on
coin collecting.
