Despite what the author claims, I very much doubt if these were minted for paying the rank and file.

I’d have parted with the coin...for a monthly stipend. Otherwise, it gets sold. This is not something of tremendous religious or historical significance (its not like we had doubts about Roman occupation of ancient Israel at that time), so its just a coin that’s worth a bunch of money. Were it something with David’s or Solomon’s seal on it that’d be another matter.

"When the Romans didn't have, for some reason, their regular silver coins to pay soldiers, they would pay three coins every quarter to the soldiers instead of the regular 75 silver coins," Ariel said. "But when the Roman soldier received this coin, what could he do with it? He couldn't buy anything in the market, in town. It was far too much money." And......that's how Jews got into banking.
