In biblical times, a penny typically refers to the "lepton," a small copper coin that was of very low value. It was worth about one-sixtieth of a denarius, which was a day's wage for a laborer. Thus, the penny represented a minimal amount of money, often used to illustrate concepts of worth and generosity in biblical teachings. Its low value highlights the significance of even a small act of giving or sacrifice.
