In its original context, it meant: "You are literally using money with Caesar's face on it - if you use his coins, how can you object to paying his taxes?"

(It's worth noting this was said in response to an attempt to trick the King into a false dilemma - of either denouncing Roman taxes, in which case they can report him to the Romans for sedition - or saying "yes pay the taxes", in which case they could paint him as "ungodly" for "supporting" the roman occupation. It didn't work, of course - don't mess with the King.)
