Thank you for this wonderful post. Really enjoyed it. I have often wondered about the thought process around the throwing of coins in water and I love your observations here. As for coins and weddings, we still have gold coins that were pinned to us by Turkish friends at our wedding in Istanbul in 1994. It is still a tradition there and these coins are very precious to us for more than their face value. And on the subject of Istanbul, can you imagine how much money has been thrown by tourists into the vast water-filled Byzantine cisterns there?!
