In the court of the Gentiles [(see ἱερόν, and Eversheim, Jesus the Messiah, i. 244 sq.)] in the temple at Jerusalem were the seats of those who sold such animals for sacrifice as had been selected, examined, and approved, together with incense, oil, and other things needed in making offerings and in worship; and the magnitude of this traffic had introduced the banker’s or broker’s business; [ef.

Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
κερματιστής appears to be practically confined to the NT and the literature dependent upon it. The verb is found in the pass. in P Ryl II. 224(@)° (ii/A.D.) ἐκερματίσθη : and in P Oxy XII. 14117 (A.D. 60) we find the compd. κατακ[ερμα]τίζειν = ‘fexchange”’ money.
