<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Gary Waddingham, post: 2082402, member: 73648&quot;]About two or three decades ago I read a short book about coins of the Bible (which I can&#039;t quite find now) that said that coin finds in Palestine were something like 12 times more likely to have the denarii of Augustus rather than Tiberius.&nbsp; If you look through your change now you will likely find coins that are 20 or 30 years old.&nbsp; When I was a kid in the early 60&#039;s I had silver dollars in my pocket that dated back to 1878.&nbsp; Circulation takes a while. Until fairly recently in Britain, the abbreviation for &quot;penny&quot; was &quot;d&quot; which of course stood for denarius.&nbsp; Thus an apt translation for denarius would have been &quot;penny.&quot;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
