Coins for the dead

Sometimes, when people die, we put coins on their graves as a way to honor and remember them. These coins are called "coins for the dead."

The idea is that the coins help the dead person pay for their journey into the afterlife. We believe that when people die, their souls move on to a new place, and that they need money to help them along the way.

The coins people leave on graves can be any kind of coin, but they should be in good condition. Sometimes people leave pennies, which represent sending positive energy and love to the person who has passed. Other times, people leave silver coins, which symbolize good luck and prosperity. And occasionally, people might leave gold coins, which signify the importance and worth of the person who has died.

Leaving coins for the dead is a way to honor and show respect to those who have passed away. It is a small gesture that helps us remember and keep their memory alive.
