'there are two money pieces' (for tickets/bills) Explanation: I'm a 5-level of certainty on "money pieces," but I don't know what to do with (para cédulas). See the dilemma below. First, it's safer to be ambiguous about the form of the money. As recently as 8 years go I visited indigenous villages in the Peruvian Amazon that used trinkets (e.g. beads, stones, little sculptures) for money instead of minted bills and coins. I also have a string of beads from Central America that are authentic money pieces. If the first element is in reference to money, then presumably "para cédulas" means that it's going to be exchanged for **something else**. It wouldn't make sense for only two coins to be exchanged for bills or bank notes (plural). Two trinkets for bills, maybe. Or they could have gotten some bills from tourists are exchanging them for some kind of ticket. Anyway, the whole thing is so vague that, without knowing the local practice, the only honest solution would be a vague "money piece" for the first part: Dutch - 250 celtic ring **money pieces**, ca. 800-500 BC.
