I remember hearing that change on gravestones is used for fallen military members and you put a different coin depending on how close you were to that person. Or something like that. It's also a tradition in some cultures that dates back to Rome/Greece, where you had to pay the boatmen on the River Styx two coins to take you into the underworld. I thought coins were put on the deads eyes? In ancient Rome/Greece, yes. Traditions evolve and change over that much time, however. Like I said, I could be wrong, but it might be related to that tradition. <cite>Dash_Harber posted [p:886027953] in What do yo...
