Matter of fact money is italicised in verse 16 meaning they added it. Proving it was a weight just as stated.

The Bible calls it money . . . you say it's not. I don't know but I believe I will go with . . . The Bible.
Bible, King James Version
Exod.30 Verses 15 to 16
[15] The rich shall not give more, and the poor shall not give less than half a shekel, when they give an offering unto the LORD, to make an atonement for your souls.
[16] And thou shalt take the
atonement money of the children of Israel, and shalt appoint it for the service of the tabernacle of the congregation; that it may be a memorial unto the children of Israel before the LORD, to make an atonement for your souls.
Here's the next verse after
Exodus 30:15. It also calls the half shekel money. It's crazy, I know. But do you think maybe that it really was money?
Weird.
