<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 2839180, member: 19463"]Am I the only one just a little offended by the coin selections for this Sunday School group? The quadrans is there because the Bible tells us that the coins used in the Widow's Mite story were worth 'two for a quadrans'. The quadrans intended was not a Republican hunk of bronze but the tiny Roman fraction of the 1st century AD. Teaching Sunday School is not a license to make it up as you go along.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
