Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words
1 Strong's Number: g694 Greek: argurion

Money:

properly, "a piece of silver," denotes

(a) "silver," e.g., Act 3:6;

(b) a "silver coin," often in the plural, "pieces of silver," e.g., Mat 26:15; so Mat 28:12, where the meaning is "many, (hikanos) pieces of silver;"

(c) "money;" it has this meaning in Mat 25:18, 27; 28:15; Mar 14:11; Luk 9:3; 19:15, 23; 22:5; Act 8:20 (here the RV has "silver").

Note: In Act 7:16, for the AV, "(a sum of) money," the RV has "(a price in) silver."
See SILVER.

2 Strong's Number: g5536 Greek: chrema

Money:

lit., "a thing that one uses" (akin to chraomai, "to use"), hence,

Money:

5 Strong's Number: g3546 Greek: nomisma

Money:

primarily "that which is established by custom" (nomos, "a custom, law"), hence, "the current coin of a state, currency," is found in Mat 22:19, "(tribute) money." In the Sept., Neh 7:71.
