A lot of them are no larger than the fingernail on your little finger. Actually, the largest Judaean coin produced was the 8-prutot denomination which was approximately the size of a U.S. Quarter. When you actually hold a &quot;Widow&#039;s Mite&quot; in your hand it really makes the Biblical account more meaningful. Imagine that the Widow&#039;s entire earthly wealth consisted of 2 fingernail sized coins. I&#039;m glad you received them Cheech.</font></p><p><font face="Georgia"><br /></font></p><p><font face="Georgia">I hope you continue to collect ancient coins! If you&#039;d like some examples of larger denominations to show your grandkids, I&#039;d suggest going to the VCoins site and purchasing a Roman sestertius coin—many of them are not too expensive. Those are huge by comparison to the Judaean prutah coins. In fact I&#039;m going to follow my own advice and expand my sestertii collection also.</font>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
