...actually it was easy. These Pilate coins are famous and easily affordable. Some can imagine that these coins may have been among the coins Jesus himself scattered when he overturned the tables of the money changers.

These Pilate coins are famous and easily affordable. The one and only known historical non-Biblical evidence of Pilate's existence is ancient inscription in stone found in Caesarea 1961.
Greek coins could have been used along with all other coins in the ancient world. There is good information about old coins here.
When the Jews tested Jesus He said to them, "'Show Me a denarius. Whose likeness (image) and inscription does it have?' And they said, 'Caesar's'" (Luke 20:24; also Matt. 22:19-21; Mark 12:15-16)
