30 pieces of silver was the price to be paid for accidentally killing someone else's slave in the law of Moses. That price was chosen to show the Pharisees contempt of Jesus.
Exodus 21:32, "...If the bull gores a male or female slave, the owner must pay thirty shekels of silver to the master of the slave, and the bull is to be stoned to death..."..This becomes an interesting question in the history of economics...do we see that 30 silver in Moses's time being worth the same in Jesus's time? What about today how much is worth? I'm doubtful, but I'd be interested in an experts opinion on the matter.
