Money

properly, "a piece of silver," denotes (a) "silver," e.g., Acts 3:6; (b) a "silver coin," often in the plural, "pieces of silver," e.g., Matthew 26:15; so Matthew 28:12 , where the meaning is "many, (hikanos) pieces of silver;" (c) "money;" it has this meaning in Matthew 25:18,27; 28:15; Mark 14:11; Luke 9:3; 19:15,23; 22:5; Acts 8:20 (here the RV has "silver").

lit., "a thing that one uses" (akin to chraomai, "to use"), hence, (a) "wealth, riches," Mark 10:23,24; Luke 18:24; (b) "money," Acts 4:37 , singular number, "a sum of money;" plural in 8:18,20; 24:26. See RICHES.

"copper," is used, by metonymy, of "copper coin," translated "money," in Mark 6:8; 12:41 . See BRASS.

primarily "a slice" (akin to keiro, "to cut short"), hence, "a small coin, change," is used in the plural in John 2:15 , "the changers' money," probably considerable heaps of small coins.

primarily "that which is established by custom" (nomos, "a custom, law"), hence, "the current coin of a state, currency," is found in Matthew 22:19 , "(tribute) money." In the Sept., Nehemiah 7:71 .
