You want to go into the temple to sacrifice a pigeon.
You need a special pigeon, one that has been prepared.
You need to buy that special pigeon, but you have one problem.
You have some pieces of silver in your purse and they all have one thing in common: they all bear the likeness of Caeser.
that's a graven image.
So you need to change your roman silver for virtually worthless temple coins that have a mosaic design.
There is a group of academics who have decided that "Render unto Caeser what is Caesar's and unto God what is God's" is the most likely of the quotations of Jesus to be factual.
To me it always sounded like an advertisement for the money changers themselves.

"Render unto Caesar" = honor your citizenship and pay your taxes, nothing more or less... except the countervailing "and unto God..."
