Talmud for Maaser Sheni 2:10
מִי שֶׁהָיוּ מִקְצָת בָּנָיו טְמֵאִין וּמִקְצָתָן טְהוֹרִים, מַנִּיחַ אֶת הַסֶּלַע וְאוֹמֵר, מַה שֶּׁהַטְּהוֹרִים שׁוֹתִים, סֶלַע זוֹ מְחֻלֶּלֶת עָלָיו. נִמְצְאוּ טְהוֹרִים וּטְמֵאִים שׁוֹתִין מִכַּד אֶחָד:
If one has some sons who are impure and some who are pure, he should lay down a <i>Selah</i> and say: What the pure ones drink, may this <i>Selah</i> be made <i>Chulin</i> [by transferring its holiness] onto it. Thus we find that pure ones and impure ones may drink from the same jar.

In this interpretation, the House of Hillel require bronze coins to be exchanged into silver coins at the earliest possible moment since bronze coins are more likely to deteriorate., the House of Shammai say small change for the entire tetradrachma but the House of Hillel say one šeqel115Two drachmas (silver denars), half a tetradrachma. This change is outside of Jerusalem. As R. Abraham ben David explains in his commentary to the Mishnah (Idiut 1:9), the House of Hillel think that if everybody brings only silver coin to Jerusalem, the money changers there will raise the price of bronze coins relative to silver. silver coin and one šeqel small coin. Rebbi Meïr says, one does not exchange silver coin and produce for silver coin116If somebody has three silver denars and produce in the value of one denar of Second Tithe, he should not exchange them together for a tetradrachma., but the Sages permit it.

If part of one’s children were pure and part impure123All are forbidden Second Tithe., he puts down the tetradrachma124Of tithe money. and says, this tetradrachma shall be exchanged for what the pure are drinking. It turns out that the pure and the impure may drink from the same pitcher125The wine must be pure so that it can become Second Tithe the moment it is poured into the cups of the pure children..
