Coins on a gravestone

Thank you for the info. I help take care of a cemetery in the Luthersburg, PA area. There is a Union soldier buried there, GAR flag holder, and there are pennies around his tombstone. I was not aware of the tradition but have added my pennies around his tombstone. Now I know the tradition. Will add pennies to the many veterans buried there. There are veterans from the Revolutionary War to the War on Terror. I need to get some more pennies.
