So Judas' "30 pieces of silver" would be Tyrian shekels? I always thought they would be Roman denarii, or possibly Hellenistic drachms/tetradrachms... Do we have any sources for that? --Svartalf 22:43, 17 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Zionist Shekel

I got here from World Zionist Organization Page which had a link titled Zionist Shekel (or something similar) and stated that you had to something like purchase a Zionist Shekel in order to vote as a member of the World Zionist Organization ? It sounds to me like something like a poll tax token was being described...I may have misread this though. Well, I guess if this is the case then there needs to be a disambiguation page.
