two small coins of very little value:  Lit., “two lepta,”  the plural form of the Greek word le·pton?, meaning “something small and thin.”     A lepton was a coin that equaled 1/128 of a denarius and was evidently the smallest copper or bronze coin used in Israel.  ~~~~~     See Glossary, “Lepton,” and App. B14.
