Subtitle: You've probably seen them before. Maybe you didn't think twice about it—a penny or two resting on a sun-warmed gravestone. Maybe it was a dime, or a quarter.
Let me tell you about the first time I noticed a coin on a gravestone.
I was in my late twenties, and I was walking through a cemetery. I noticed a penny on a gravestone. I didn't think much of it at first. I assumed someone had dropped it.
But then I saw another coin, and another one. I started to wonder about it.
I did some research, and I learned about the beautiful tradition behind it.
