Friend of the Jews edit

Why is chaver left untranslated in this article? It means friend, in the sense of "popular leader" when found on these coins (despite the rule being hereditary). Kuratowski's Ghost (talk) 15:36, 23 April 2009 (UTC)Reply

It usually is understood as Chaver HaSanhedrin, or "Member of the Sanhedrin".

Just Prutah and Half-Prutah?!? edit

It says in the first paragraph, that only Prutot and Leptas were minted by the Hasmoneans. This is not true, seeing that Antigonus minted 4-prutahs and 8-prutahs. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.99.53.138 (talk) 00:03, 14 March 2010 (UTC)Reply

True, same with Hyrcanus I, who minted two-prutot.
