Coins were invented in 600 B.C stop reading a book written by superstitious bronze age primitives
Stop reading internet trash which subverts the historical facts found in the Bible.
Abraham gave 400 silver shekels for the purchase of the tomb for his deceased wife Sarah:
Gen 23:15 No lord! Hear me. The land is four hundred shekels of silver.
What is that between me and you? Your dead entomb.
Gen 23:16 And hearkening is Abraham to Ephron. And weighing is
Abraham for Ephron the silver of which he spoke in the ears of the sons of
Heth, four hundred shekels of silver, passing with the merchant.
The shekel was used prior to Rome taking over Israel and is still used today.
Abraham was hardly a "bronze age primitive":
"When Sir Leonard Woolley rediscovered ancient Ur in the 1920s, he found stupendous royal treasures but he also found a city rich in more everyday items. Abraham, like others at Ur, may have lived in a two-story house made of brick and boasting a courtyard, reception rooms, a kitchen, bedrooms, even a toilet. His wife Sarah, like other women in the city, may have worn intricately designed headdresses and other jewelry. Abraham and Sarah would even have enjoyed music. Woolley discovered a beautifully carved lyre overlayed with gold at Ur’s royal cemetery. The ancient Mesopotamians were well versed in music; cuneiform tablets containing musical notations and dating to about1800 B.C.E. have been unearthed at Ugarit, in northwestern Mesopotamia." http://cojs.org/cojswiki/Biblical_Hi..._Feldman,_COJS.

no i read real research by real archeologists that do years of research in the field and FYI the bible is a fiction and forgery written by unknown authors which is already debunked by Israeli archeology coins weren't used before 600 B.C
a shekel is a UNIT OF WEIGHT of currency not coin
and where are the pictures of these alleged coins?

Getting back to my point that Joseph really was in Egypt:
Top Egyptian Daily: Joseph’s Era Coins Found in Egypt
An Egyptian paper claims that archaeologists have discovered ancient Egyptian coins bearing the
name and image of the Biblical Joseph.
The report in Al-Ahram boasts that the find backs up the Koran’s claim that coins were used in Egypt
during Joseph’s period. Joseph, son of the Patriarch Jacob, died around 1450 B.C.E., according to
Jewish sources.
"The researcher identified coins from many different periods, including coins that bore special
markings identifying them as being from the era of Joseph. Among these, there was one coin that
had an inscription on it, and an image of a cow symbolizing Pharaoh's dream about the seven fat
cows and seven lean cows, and the seven green stalks of grain and seven dry stalks of grain. It was
found that the inscriptions of this early period were usually simple, since writing was still in its early
stages, and consequently there was difficulty in deciphering the writing on these coins. But the
research team [managed to] translate [the writing on the coin] by comparing it to the earliest
known hieroglyphic texts… Joseph's name appears twice on this coin, written in hieroglyphs: once
the original name, Joseph, and once his Egyptian name, Saba Sabani, which was given to him by
Pharaoh when he became treasurer. There is also an image of Joseph, who was part of the Egyptian
administration at the time." Joseph Era Coins Found in Egypt - Defense/Middle East - News - Israel National News
Thought the above interesting in proving the story of Joseph was legit.
