Question
I separated terumot and maasrot on a half-shekel coin. What should I do with the coin now?
Answer
Dear Sir,
The terumot [teruma gedola and terumat maaser] are not redeemed on a coin. Only the maaser sheni is redeemed on a coin. Similarly, revai fruits are redeemed.
The coin should be destroyed or buried in a place where it will not be used.
