tough question because even if you just mean their metallic or monetary value rather than their numismatic value the various silver coins that are called pieces of silver had different weights as well as different standards of purity

but the tyrian shekels that are thought to be the ones meant by the famous 30 pieces of silver reference to Judas iscariot were at least 94 percent pure & averaged 220 grains

& there are 480 grains in an ounce

& an ounce of silver is worth about 14 dollars & 72 cents today

so in that case about 190 dollars in all

however, before the discovery of the new world silver was only a little less valuable than that of gold. So in reality, it was probably several thousand dollars by today's standards

What 30 thirty pieces of silver in us currency?

The 30 pieces of silver that Judas was paid was likely something like a Tyrian shekel which weighed about 14 grams of 94% or more pure silver. At todays silver prices being about $36.12 US dollars per ounce, a Tyrian Shekel would be worth $16.26 US today in silver value (excluding historical value). So the 30 pieces of silver at todays prices would be valued about $487.80 US. Interestingly, this is also considered the price of a slave during Roman times.
