There were 2500 shekels in one talent, an amount too large to be coined.

In the parable of the unjust steward recorded in Matthew's Gospel (18:23-24), the ten thousand talent debt which the king cancelled was an unimaginably large sum. Matthew must have known his audience would see this as pure rhetoric.
