The &quot;mite&quot; was a tiny copper Dutch coin in circulation when the King James version was written. Older Bibles reference a lepton specifically, and that is what it is. A tiny coin, last struck about 80 years before Jesus but still in circulation at the time.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Also &quot;biblical&quot; are the thirty pieces of silver Judas was paid. The only silver used and accepted by the temple was Shekels of Tyre. However, these were also restruck in Jerusalem during Jesus&#039; lifetime.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
