We're talking about maaser *kesafim*, right? Was there ever a time when it had a different status than it does today?

Just to avoid confusion: I am aware that there's a machlokes on whether Maaser Kesafim is d'Orasia or d'Rabanan or minhag. But whichever shitah one goes by, my understanding is that there's no difference between now and any other era.
