Ceasar's image on the coin was similar to the mark of the beast in the book of revelation
They put images of god's on coins and those god's were also political officials
TobGive to Ceasar what is Ceasear's is not the same as to give to Caesar what is not Caesar's
If Caesar owns a coin with his graven image on it and then gives that coin to someone else and tells them that coin belongs to them then the coin belongs to the other person not Caesar

What do you claim, "Render unto Caesar" has to do with the parable of the Talents?
@shortstories @vic @unabomber In reference to your statement:

In the Parable of the Talents, the “Rich Man” gives a large amount of gold to three different men; and in the parable’s closing, it’s evident he did so with the very serious expectation of them returning a profit. Those who did so, were rewarded because they could be trusted with it. But only punishment awaited the man that buried his relatively-small (but still rather large) amount.
I bring this up because it’s illustrative of the reasons both God and the State have, for entrusting citizens of the kingdom with resources under their authority.
