Why You Never Mess With Coins Found On Gravestones

If you've ever had the gumption to pitch in at your local cemetery, you may have noticed coins having been placed on a grave or two. While it may seem random or weird, there is a deep meaning behind it and it carries a deep significance to the person that left it as well as the departed.
