I was looking up the meaning of "30 pieces of silver" and clicked to wikipedia's page on the subject. Take a look at this:

> At spot valuation of $17.06/oz (the closing price on Monday, December 12, 2016), 30 "pieces of silver" would be worth between $185 and $216 in present-day value (USD).
> - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thirty_pieces_of_silver

Now if you can do basic second grade math you would know that $17.06/oz x 30 coins = $511.80! That is more than double what the "high" price quoted in this wikipedia post is ($216). This may only be a small oversight, but it still proves that you must verify your sources before using them!
