50 shekels is about $300 USD btw.

Why, for that price, I could hire a prostitute. Or, if I wanna visit a seedier part of town, I imagine I could really make that money stretch and hire many.

[–] Pizzasgood@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

I question that. According to Wikipedia, 50 shekels in ancient times would have been worth anywhere from five months to five years of unskilled labor. In parts of the USA that still use the federal minimum wage, that works out to between $6,000 and $73,000. In most of the country it'd be higher yet.
