never given much thought to the fact that coins have never been found in the
Holy Land with the theme of Jesus on them.

Jesus Himself had a rather negative attitude toward coins.

Jerusalem was punctuated by His dramatic encounter with the changers of coins at
the Temple Mount in Jerusalem.

the floor, in his zeal to emphasize that the Temple was a place of prayer, not
business. (Mark 11:15-17) Jesus' body Itself is regarded as a "Temple" (John
2:21), and thus, it is natural to conclude that Jesus' image would not appear on
coins.

asked for a large silver coin, saying: "'Show me the coin used for paying the
tax.' They brought him a dinarius, and he asked them, 'Whose portrait is this?
And whose inscription?' 'Ceasar's' they replied. Then he said to them, 'Give to
Ceasar what is Caesar's, and to God what is God's.'" (Matthew 22.19-21)

discovery near the Sea of Galilee. In a dig headed by the Hebrew University
archaeologists, Prof. Yizhar Hirschfeld and Oren Gutfeld, a cache of very rare
coins were uncovered. Numbering some eighty-two (82) in all, fifty-eight (58) of
the coins bore the image of Jesus. |
