From AmTrac: SILVER

One of the precious metals and the one most commonly used as coin among all nations. It is first mentioned in Scripture in the history of Abraham, Genesis 13:2; Genesis 20:16; Genesis 23:16, and was used in constricting the tabernacle, Exodus 26:19, Exodus 26:32, and afterwards the temple, 1 Chronicles 29:4. In employing it as a medium of trade, the ancient Hebrews weighed it out, instead of having coins. In the times of the New Testament there were coins. See SHEKEL, and MONEY.
