Pieces:
(1) of silver. In Psa 68:30 denotes "fragments," and not properly money. In 1Sa 2:36 (Heb. agorah), properly a "small sum" as wages, weighed rather than coined. Jos 24:32 (Heb. kesitah, q.v.), supposed by some to have been a piece of money bearing the figure of a lamb, but rather simply a certain amount. (Gen 33:19).
(2.) The word pieces is omitted in many passages, as Gen. 20:16; 37:28; 45:22, etc. The passage in Zec 11:12, 13 is quoted in the Gospel (Mat 26:15), and from this we know that the word to be supplied is "shekels." In all these omissions we may thus warrantably supply this word.
(3.) The "piece of money" mentioned in (Mat 17:27) is a stater=a Hebrew shekel, or four Greek drachmae; and that in Luke (Luk 15:8,9; Act 19:19), a Greek drachma=a denarius. (See PENNY.)
Penny:
(Gr. denarion), a silver coin of the value of about 7 1/2d. or 8d. of our present money. It is thus rendered in the New Testament, and is more frequently mentioned than any other coin (Mat 18:28; 20:2,9,13; Mar 6:37; 14:5, etc.). It was the daily pay of a Roman soldier in the time of Christ. In the reign of Edward III. an English penny was a labourer's day's wages. This was the "tribute money" with reference to which our Lord said, "Whose image and superscription is this?" When they answered, "Caesar's," he replied, "Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar's; and to God the things that are God's" (Mat 22:19; Mar 12:15).

He will mail it out from Jerusalem.
He will be sent to your Side.
