During the time of Jesus, Jews primarily used a monetary system that included coins, such as the Roman denarius and the Tyrian shekel, for trade and transactions. While bartering was still common in some contexts, especially for smaller or local exchanges, currency facilitated trade in larger markets and with the Roman authorities. Thus, both money and barter existed, but money played a significant role in the economy of that period.
