This must be known in it's own context of interpretation, otherwise it makes no sense.
On the Roman coins there was on one side the face of the Caesar on charge, and on the other side the symbolised sketch of the map of Italy, looking much like a boot (haven't changed much lately)
What Jesus said was a hyronical application of a popular joke at the time, that can be interpreted as give to Caesar (on one side of the coin) a boot kick in the ... face(?) since on the other side it was the perfect instrument to do that!
Any other interpretation was issued in time is due to the State Church (like catholic, lutheran and others) that needed folks taxes thus interpreted the story accordingly and hiding the real menanig: Kick the caesar's ass outta here!
So give to Ceasar what it belongs to Caesar: A boot kick in the ASS, not your money!
