Teach what the Bible says. Biblical tithes were always only food increased only by God only from His holy land of Israel. Although money was common even in Genesis and commanded for sanctuary worship, money was never included in 16 texts which describe the contents of the tithe.
Neh 10:37 And that we should bring the firstfruits of our dough, and our offerings, and the fruit of all manner of trees, of wine and of oil, unto the priests, to the chambers of the house of our God; and the tithes of our ground unto the Levites, that the same Levites might have the tithes in all the cities of our tillage.
The OT tithe did not go to the temple. It went first to the Levitical cities.
Neh 10:38 And the priest the son of Aaron shall be with the Levites, when the Levites take tithes: and the Levites shall bring up the tithe of the tithes unto the house of our God, to the chambers, into the treasure house.

You also totally ignore Numbers 18:21-28.
