Coins with Caesar’s picture on them belong to Caesar. Scholars (Scott Hahn?) have pointed out that there were “graven image”-free coins circulating in Judea, but they traded at a lower value than the ones with the picture of Tiberius.

By holding the coins with Caesar’s image, the Pharisees demonstrated that Mammon was more important to them than the Commandment.
