Perutah Value

The sanctity of ma'aser sheni and neta revay fruit is transferred onto a coin. The minimal value of this coin is a perutah.

The value of a perutah, as of 10 Sivan 5784 is approximately 12 agorot.
A 10-agurot coin is less than a perutah. The smallest coin than can be used is a half-shekel coin.  

 

 

 

The value of a perutah fluctuates and is based on the value of silver. For an explanation of the laws of ma'aser sheni and the ins and outs of this calculation, see here.
