[Avodah] Shekalim

[Rich, Joel]

For next week Parashat Shekalim, how much I need to give?
I heard that in some shules they use a silver coin, some give about $5?
Is there a "fixed rate" for waht I need to give for Machatzit Hashekel?

Actually IIRC some shuls have a minhag to specifically say(on the plate)
this isn't really machzit hashekel because if it were (except for a
diyuk in the yerushalmi)  the kedusha on the money would not be
reversible if the giver thought he was giving real machtzit hashekel
