The Bible mentions these coins:
Lepton ("widow's mite") [SG 6087]
Drachm ("lost coin", similar to denarius) [SG 7035V]
Denarius (day's wage, coin for Roman tax) [SR 195]
Shekel (temple tax for two, 30 given to Judas) [SGI 5208]

These ancient coins are still abundant today. So the Bible talks about real coins.
