Lambs were slaughtered at the original event in Egypt. By slaughtering the lambs, painting their blood on doorways, and then roasting and eating the meat, the Jews were physically displaying their rejection of the Egyptian false gods and their willingness to follow HaShem (The Creator).
Once established in Israel with the Temple, there were two animals that were sacrificed for Passover. Each family would slaughter a lamb as an offering of thanks to HaShem, the meat would then be roasted and eaten. A goat would also be slaughtered at the Temple as an offering of atonement for the Nation for any mistakes the Nation made as a whole community in the previous year.

∙ 13y agoNo animals can be used as there is no sacrifice without the Temple. If you're asking which animals were sacrificed when the Temple stood, families would sacrifice either a goat or lamb as a sacrifice of thanks to HaShem, then roast and eat the whole animal.

What was the coin given at the temple in Jerusalem to forgive sins in Passover?
There was no coin given in return for forgiveness. The animal sacrifice was for repentance on Yom Kippur, not on Passover.

This was for the census and to help support the priests (of the levite tribes) who worked the Temple.
what is the sacrifice of passover?
In Exodus, 12:1–28 each Israelite family is commanded to sacrifice a lamb so that the final plague (the death of the firstborn) will pass over their houses, and the final verses cited above ask that this become an annual ritual in commemoration of the first Passover. So, for as long as the Temple in Jerusalem was in operation, Jews made Passover sacrifices, with each family bringing a lamb and then taking home a good part of the meat to eat at dinner after the sacrifice. This meal, where the sacrifice was eaten "with matzah (unleavened bread) and bitter herbs" is the origin of today's Passover Seder. Note that the Passover sacrifice was not a sin sacrifice. If anything, it was a thanksgiving sacrifice, made to thank God for the the salvation of the Israelites from Egyptian bondage.
