Mishnah 9
13)
(a) Beis Shamai permits the owner to exchange an entire Sela of Ma'aser Sheni money for Perutos in Yerushalayim (to cover his day to day expenses) - Beis Hillel permit him to exchange only half (see Tos, Yom-Tov) ...
(b) ... in case he uses up only some of them and is forced to leave the others in Yerushalayim until the following Yom-Tov, by which time they will have gone bad (as copper coins tend to do).
(c) The 'Danin Lifnei Chachamim' - ben Azai, ben Zoma and Chanan ha'Mitzri (see Tos. Yom-Tov).
(d) Rebbi Akiva and Rebbi Tarfon are even more stringent than 'Danin Lifnei Chachamim'. Rebbi Akiva permits him to change only a quarter of a Dinar into Perutos at a time (one sixteenth of a Dinar). When Rebbi Tarfon says four Aspri of silver - he means that one is permitted to exchange four Aspri per Dinar to one of copper, which is the equivalent of one twentieth of a Sela.
14)
(a) Shamai does not permit exchanging a Sela for Perutos at all - because he is afraid that the owner may forget that are Ma'aser, and treat them as Chulin coins.
(b) When he needs to purchase food - he leaves the Sela with storekeeper deducting from it with each purchase until it is finished.
(c) The Halachah is - like the Tana Kama.
Mishnah 10
15)
(a) The problem our Mishnah discusses with regard to someone with Ma'aser Sheni wine outside Yerushalayim and some of whose sons are Tamei is - there where he wants them all from the same earthenware vessel containing wine which includes Tevel of Ma'aser Sheni.
(b) What he must do is - place a Sela coin before they begin to drink and declare all the wine that his Tahor sons drink Ma'aser Sheni retroactively (see Tos. Yom-Tov and Tiferes Yisrael).
