A coin to pay Charon for passage, usually an obolus or danake, was sometimes placed in <span style="color: blue">or on the mouth of a dead person</span>.[1] Some authors say that those who could not pay the fee, or those whose bodies were left unburied, had to wander the shores for one hundred years.</p><p><br /></p><p>And, there are some who believe that the &quot;Shroud of Turin&quot; shows the image of coins over the eyes of (perhaps) Jesus.&nbsp; You can read about what coins by googling it.&nbsp; Leptons in some denomination...</p><p><br /></p><p>And of course, on another note, tossing coins into fountains goes back a LONG ways, too.&nbsp; Coins with wishes attached..</p><p><br /></p><p>As well as placing coins at the cemetery on top of gravestones.</p><p><br /></p><p>Lucy[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
