But the idea isn't mine. I got it, complete with the Rabbi Aqiva
connection (only needing one of each) from the Biblical Archeology
Review. But, as happens in oft-repeated debates, who kept a copy of the
source around for the next iteration?

All I could find by Google were copies of a Jm Post article citing our
RAZivotofsky and R Ari Greenspan to this effect.

But it would seem that people who actually saw such coins are okay with
this interpretation of their image.
