There is an account in the Bible (Mark 12 and Luke 21) where Jesus sees a poor widow put two 'mites' into the offering. He uses the occasion to teach that it is not the amount you give, but why you give, that's important to God.

The widow's two mites are actually called leptons. These were the smallest denomination coin of the day in Judea. Thousands and thousands were made, and you can still find them today. A genuine widow's mite sells for $20 to $100, depending on condition and overall appearance.

We are not experts on ancient coins like this. Our favorite place for ancients is VCoins.com. At this site you will find pictures and prices for genuine leptons.

Thomas' coin, however, is not a genuine lepton. It is a modern reproduction used for promotion. It carries no value.
