1 Maccabees 15:6-8

Good News Translation

⁶ I authorize you to mint your own coins as legal currency in your own country. ⁷ Jerusalem and the Temple shall be free of taxation. All the weapons that you have manufactured and the defenses you have built and now occupy shall remain yours. ⁸ In addition, all debts now owed to the royal treasury, or which may in the future fall due, are permanently canceled.
