Question: What are mentioned for the first time in the Bible in Ezra 2:69?
Answer: Coins. (Ezra 2:69)
Comments: The use of coins as currency extends from the Biblical era to the presence. The first reference to coins in the Bible occurs in the book of Ezra. In this book, coins are used in reference to the Israelites supplying the treasury for the rebuilding of their fallen temple.
According to their ability they gave to the treasury for the work 61,000 gold drachmas and 5,000 silver minas and 100 priestly garments. (Ezra 2:69, NASB)
After much effort, by the conclusion of Ezra, the temple is completed and is dedicated with great solemnity. (Ezra 6:13-18)
