Two coins of the lowest denomination possible, equivalent to about a farthing combined:-
Luk 21:1-4 KJV And he looked up, and saw the rich men casting their gifts into the treasury. [v. 2] And he saw also a certain poor widow casting in thither two mites. [v. 3] And he said, Of a truth I say unto you, that this poor widow hath cast in more than they all: [v. 4] For all these have of their abundance cast in unto the offerings of God: but she of her penury hath cast in all the living that she had.

[v. 42] And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing. [v. 43] And he called unto him his disciples, and saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That this poor widow hath cast more in, than all they which have cast into the treasury: [v. 44] For all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want did cast in all that she had, even all her living.

Mark 1241] And Jesus sat over against the treasury, and beheld how the people cast money into the treasury: and many that were rich cast in much.[42] And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing.[43] And he called unto him his disciples, and saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That this poor widow hath cast more in, than all they which have cast into the treasury:[44] For all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want did cast in all that she had, even all her living. Luke 21 [1] And he looked up, and saw the rich men casting their gifts into the treasury.[2] And he saw also a certain poor widow casting in thither two mites.[3] And he said, Of a truth I say unto you, that this poor widow hath cast in more than they all:[4] For all these have of their abundance cast in unto the offerings of God: but she of her penury hath cast in all the living that she had.
Mark 12:42, Luke 21:2
Luke'2: 37And she was a widow of about fourscore and four years, which departed not from the temple, but served God with fastings and prayers night and day.one score is equal to 20 so 20 times 4 equals 80 plus 4 is equal to 84 so Anna was a widow for 84 years if you read verses 35 and 36 it will tell you she was only married for seven years before she became a widow!just a small bit of info and thx for the question. GOD BLESS

The widows miteMark 12 : 41 - 44 and Luke 21 : 1 - 4. The Widow's Gift Mark 12:41-43The temple was big and beautiful. Many people came there to worship God. Inside the temple were some big money boxes. People put money in them. The money was for the temple and all that was used in worship to God.One day Jesus sat across from the money boxes. He saw many rich people put in lots of money. Then one poor woman, a widow, walked up to the boxes. She put in two small copper coins worth less than a penny.Jesus looked at his friends. "This poor woman put in more than the rich people did," he said. "Here's why: the rich people still have much money left. But this woman only had two coins. She did not have any more money. The rich people only gave part of what they had. She gave all of what she had."
