Talmud for Meilah 6:6

פְּרוּטָה שֶׁל הֶקְדֵּשׁ שֶׁנָּפְלָה לְתוֹךְ הַכִּיס, אוֹ שֶׁאָמַר, פְּרוּטָה בְכִיס זֶה הֶקְדֵּשׁ, כֵּיוָן שֶׁהוֹצִיא אֶת הָרִאשׁוֹנָה, מָעַל, דִּבְרֵי רַבִּי עֲקִיבָא. וַחֲכָמִים אוֹמְרִים, עַד שֶׁיּוֹצִיא אֶת כָּל הַכִּיס. מוֹדֶה רַבִּי עֲקִיבָא בְּאוֹמֵר פְּרוּטָה מִן הַכִּיס זֶה הֶקְדֵּשׁ, שֶׁהוּא מוֹצִיא וְהוֹלֵךְ עַד שֶׁיּוֹצִיא אֶת כָּל הַכִּיס:

If a peruta belonging to the Temple fell into one's pouch or if he said that a peruta that is in this pouch belongs to the Temple [thus mixing it with his private coins], as soon as he takes out the first one [peruta], he has violated <i>meilah</i>, so says Rabbi Akiva. The Sages say he has not violated <i>meilah</i> until he has spent all the coins in the pouch. Rabbi Akiva [however] agrees with the Sages in the case where he said one peruta that is in this pouch belongs to the Temple, that he can spend the coins until he has spent the entire contents of the pouch [before committing <i>meilah</i>].
