8
One who changes copper coins of second tithe for a sela: Bet Shammai says: he may change copper coins for a whole sela. But Bet Hillel says: a shekel of silver and a shekelโs worth of copper coins [can be exchanged for the sela]. Rabbi Meir says: one may not exchange silver and produce for silver. But the sages allow it.

ืืคืืจื ืกืืข ืืืขืืช ืืขืฉืจ ืฉื ื โ He who has copper coins of Second Tithe and comes to change the money into a silver Sela to bring up to Jerusalem because of the burden of the way.
ื"ืฉ ืืืืจืื ืืื ืืกืืข ืืขืืช โ if he comes to change them (i.e., the monies), he can change all of them and give them for the entire Sela.
ืื"ื ืืืืจืื โ he cannot change other than half of them, for the coins are spent in Jerusalem and when he comes there, for he will need coins immediately to buy the needs of the meal, and if everyone runs to the money-changer to change [monies], the coins will go up in value and will be found that the Second Tithe [monies] are lost. Therefore, they should carry coins with them to spend on a part [of his needs] and when they run out, he should change from the silver that is in his hand, little by little.
ืฉืงื โ which is one-half of a Sela.
ืืื ืืืืืื ืืกืฃ ืืคืืจืืช ืขื ืืกืฃ โ Whomever has one-half of a silver denar of [Second] Tithe and produce of {Second] Tithe worth one-half denar, he should not combine them together to redeem them on the denar.
ืืืืืื ืืชืืจืื โ for in that manner, via a combination of produce, since he only has one-half of a silver denar. But, to redeem a silver dinar and produce which are worth a dinar on half-a sela which is two denarim, the Sages agree that we donโt redeem them. And the Halakha is according to the Sages.
