I know too little about Judas' individual situation to say anything about how important it was for him to do this. Perhaps he or someone in his family were in a terrible situation due to debt?
30 tyrian schekels, at 13,8gr each = 414gr of silver. At an average purity of of 92,5% that's
300$ of today's money.
Judas betrayed Jesus for 300 bucks.
Worst trade in the history of trades, rightfully so he hung himself.
