As mentioned in the Passover Hagaddah, how much is "2 Zuz" worth in March 2013 US Dollars?
Please note there may be different types of Zuz: "זוזי פשיטי" and "זוזי ממש" (Ketuvot 67a).
This may be the Zuz in question: link .
This Aish.com article appears to imply 2 Zuz is worth $7.50:
But that seems cheap for a little goat, even one that can be eaten by a single cat, which can be easily bitten by a dog, which was doing the right thing in defending the goat and didn't deserve to be beaten by a stick, which deserved to be burned by the fire, which... you get the idea.
So what's 2 Zuz worth? How much did this baby goat go for in USD?
