<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1919921, member: 26302&quot;]Lots of people like to sell nefarious &quot;proto-currency&quot;. I never buy anything unless its well documented. Chinese &quot;things&quot; are also sold many times as &quot;proto-currency&quot;. </p><p><br /></p><p>Regarding the shekel, yes it was a unit of weight, so any reference in the bible you have to understand that. A reference to a shekel is really a reference to a certain amount of weight, not a coin in particular. Almost all civilizations had weight system long before coinage, and coinage was an offshoot of this system.</p><p><br /></p><p>Regarding the Bible, (keeping it areligious), like many historical documents there have been &quot;issues&quot; in relying solely on it. However, there has been a lot of verified information that came from it, probably higher than average. So, its A document to use for historical research, a pretty good one, but of course should not be relied solely. Quite a few historical sites, actually, have been found due to it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
