Towards an Explanation
There was a time when the living covered the mouths of their dead with a single
coin before their final goodbye. The coins had a purpose: to allow the dead to pay
for their passage to the Otherworld. In Ancient Greece, among Romans, and
other Near East countries, this was the realm of Hades, separated from the land
of the living by five rivers. It was a perilous journey, and there was only one
guide to take the recently departed to their final destination. His name was
Charon. The unfortunate souls who didn't have a coin (because their bodies
hadn’t received a proper burial) were condemned to wander along the banks of
the Cocytus, the river of lamentation, for all eternity. The custom is also found in
Western Europe, by Celtic cultures, and among the Germanic peoples of late
antiquity and the early Christian era, with sporadic examples into the early 20"
century.
We find this practice even at the other end of the world. At a traditional Khmer
funeral, a silver or gold coin is often put into the mouth of the dead before the
body is cremated. The belief is that this is the only wealth the dead can bring with
them to the underworld.
Even in our modernized world, you can find coins left on gravestones. These coins
are commonly left on military graves as a sign that they’ve been visited by living
soldiers.
Thus, coins have a connection to the spirits of the deceased. It is no wonder that
the anomalous appearance of a coin is often associated with a recently deceased
person.
It seems to happen more than one might think, a penny that drops out of thin air,
in front of or near a person, mostly an enclosed area, when nobody else is
around, or where nobody could have thrown one. Actually, the penny usually just
falls straight from above. In countries where there are no pennies, it will be a coin
of that countries denomination.
The coin can fall anywhere in one's house, in a building, or even outside. It falls
unexpectedly near a person. One can hear the coin fall first, as it hits a hard
surface. It can fall right in front of a person, but not always. In some instances it
lands on top of the person's head.
Some people have this happen more than once. It can happen twice in a day, or
multiple times over a period of time.
Most of the time, it is a penny, or pennies, that drop out of thin air. However,
occasionally a dime or a quarter falls too. In some rare instances, one can have a
coin appear from a foreign denomination, that is a coin from another country that
is not in use in one's own country.
So how or why does this happen?
Some people associate the event with a recently deceased family member, who
want to send a message that he/she is ok. However, many people do not make
this association. For them it is just a mysterious happening, without meaning.
Some keep the coin(s), while others just throw them away.
It should be noted that materialization of objects, and in rare cases also of coins,
is known in poltergeist. In the past poltergeist was attributed to the presence of a
malicious or disturbing ghost, who, most commonly, would move objects, like
furniture, around. Poltergeist's materializations usually include stone, that would
appear in an enclosed area (although also outside a house too), but these always
appear to be thrown with force. Materializations and dematerializations in
poltergeist include many different objects, usually household items.
In recent times, due to research, poltergeist is now largely interpreted as the
effects of psychological disturbances of a person in the locale where the events
happen. Somehow, that person generates psychic energy that repeatedly cause
the anomalous events, although the person himself does not have this under
control. The events happen spontaneously, probably due to a sudden release of
pent-up emotional energy.
One could also argue that, at least in some cases, there is also a Spirit present
who could use that energy to create physical effects. Maybe the temporary
presence of telluric energy fields might also play a role.
It is interesting that in a few cases, there is also other paranormal activity
happening beside the manifestation of coins, what then might point to a
poltergeist case of some sort.
Below is a report of an investigation of an abandoned building, once used as a
morgue, by two Navajo rangers. The strange happenings at this place would more
fir a haunting than a poltergeist case. At that place the rangers had multiple coins
appearing from nowhere. Considering a morgue would a place where there is an
strong accumulation of energies, and departing spirits, there is a string possibility
that a spirit(s) was responsible for the materialization of those coins.
We speak of the materialization of a coin, or coins, or other objects, but in reality
it is a teleportation. That coin, or object, has to come from somewhere. When
coins appear they are not always shiny new. They have dates from past years,
even decades ago. When a coin appears that has even dust on it, it is clear that it
has been lying around in some dusty corner for a while before it was teleported.
In shamanism, spirits are known to be able to dematerialize an object from a
certain place, and then materialize it at another place. That is teleportation.
People drop coins everywhere, especially pennies, or cents. A spirit could easily
pick a lost coin from the immediate environment, dematerialize it and materialize
it in the presence of a person. The spirit could also take them a wallet of another
person, or even from one's coin collection (in cases where a rare coin appears).
Teleportation is a Siddhi in Hindu scriptures. In Indian religions, Siddhis are
material, paranormal, supernatural, or otherwise magical powers, abilities, and
attainments that are the products of yogic advancement through sadhanas (ego-
transcending spiritual practices) such as meditation and yoga. The number of
siddhis and their nature varies among the different disciplines. When the yogi has
attained a certain level of development, these inherent abilities spontaneously
appear. They are attained as a natural consequence of spiritual development.
Siddhis can also be obtained by magical practices, regardless of any spiritual
development. They can also manifest spontaneously for various reason, such as
inherited karma of previous lives. So, people can be born with a psychic energy or
capability for the manifestation of objects, such as coins. They usually do not
know it, and the activation of their psychic ability happens unconsciously and
spontaneously. There might be an external trigger that would allow these
manifestations to occur. Or maybe a spirit might use this psychic energy of the
person to be able to manifest a coin(s). This might be the case with people who
have coins appearing out of nowhere multiple times in their lives.
In most cases it is just one or a few coins that appear out of nowhere. However
there are also cases in which it 'rains' money, that is, a lot of coins, and in some
rare events paper money, are 'raining' down from the sky, also appearing out of
the blue. These events have the characteristics of poltergeist phenomena, as the
objects (the coins) manifested are multiple, and the coin rain happens repeatedly
over a short span of time, even when there are only a handful of coins involved.
Are we also dealing here with spirits that are teleporting a load of coins just for
the pleasure of it, or are some other forces at work, as in the temporary
appearing of telluric energy field? The fact that it just only coins and nothing else
with it does suggest an intention behind it.

When Pennies Fall From Thin Air
Inside a House
Mysterious penny fell out of the ceiling onto my makeup tray
As this literally just happened five minutes ago I’m trying to rack my brains for
any logical or scientific theory. Just sitting on my bed watching YouTube, and at
the foot of my bed I hear what sounds like a coin dropping onto my glass vintage
makeup tray/mirror. It made me jump as it made a loud clang. It made the noise
of hitting glass and then rolling a bit, sounded like it dropped from a pretty high
vantage point. I went over to check and there was a penny laying there, very
dusty as well. The items on my makeup mirror are just makeup brushes in a cup
and claw clips laying flat down. Directly above that is just my ceiling. No holes or
random gaps or opening. My makeup tray is just laying flat on a small wooden
table. I don’t have money stored in a container anywhere near that. I cannot
think of a logical explanation of why a random penny just decided to drop from
god knows where and scare the shit out of me. (Reddit)
Penny dropped from the ceiling
So I'm going to make this quick!! I was in my grandparents kitchen a few years
ago with my Aunt as a witness and out of nowhere a penny fell right in front of
us. The penny made an impact and fell on heads. it also fell away from the fridge
and dead center-relatively close to us at the table. My grandma who was washing
dishes stopped and turned around and asked what was that. We first thought
someone lost a coin but no one had coins on them. And none us carried money
like that anyway. My grandma then said its message from someone in heaven. I
don't remember who she said exactly but to this day I still think about it... to add
to that me and my aunt both saw it fall from the celling!! So we knew we weren't
insane. (Reddit)
In a shower
When I was young, I had a friend pass away. I was in the shower, thinking about
it, right after his death, when all of a sudden - a penny fell. It fell and dropped in
the very center of the shower (right in front of me), nowhere close to a ledge, it
fell from nowhere. Recently, I've been finding a lot of "lucky pennies" even at
work, I found one, put it in my pocket... then found another one moments later-
and thought, cool- two lucky pennies! just to find the first one I had put in my
pocket of missing... very strange also. (Comment on post on Reddit)
Bathroom pennies
So yesterday I was in my bathroom and suddenly a penny fell on my head and
down my back. Mind you there's nothing above me or relatively close to me for it
to drop off of. It was a fall like someone just dropped it, not a throw or at an
angle so it was directly above me. An hour or two later another penny drops on
my head in a DIFFERENT part of the bathroom. So that's weird but today my
fiancé heard grunting from the bathroom and it was very soon after she started
looking at the pennies. We've been feeling creeped out in the bathroom for a
month or two now anyways. No one I know has died so idk. Help? How do i stop
it? (Reddit)
1 cent in bathroom
I had the exact same thing happen to me last year. I was alone in my house and
as I walked out of the bathroom a 1 cent coin dropped from above and landed
right in front of me! I looked up at the ceiling. All was ok and then picked up the
coin. What makes this weirder is I live in Australia and they stopped
making/using 1 cent pieces years before I emigrated here, so I'd never seen one
until that moment. I kept the coin, it's my reminder of one of the most wtf
moments in my life! (comment on post on Reddit)
In kitchen
I hadn't heard about coins being connected to a loved one that has passed! A few
years ago I had just gotten a divorce and moved into my own apartment to live
alone for the first time in my life. I was in my kitchen washing a dish when I was
suddenly hit on the shoulder with something. It hit me and then fell into the sink.
It was a penny. I was looking up and all around trying to figure out where it could
have come from! Being as I was new to the whole living alone thing, for the sake
of my nerves, I decided to tell myself it had fallen from above the cabinet, but
that doesn't actually make any sense because, if there had been a penny sitting
up there, I don't see any reason it would've fallen at that moment. Very strange.
But no one I knew had recently died or anything so it's still pretty weird.

Penny dropped on his head.
So, I will say that in general I just follow this sub because it’s entertaining, but
the things I’ve seen people post I think can be explained by coincidence, human
error, etc. I thought this random occurrence was funny, though. I was walking
into my garage a week or so ago. I stepped onto the first step, and a penny fell
on my head. There is nothing above that spot but flat ceiling. There are no holes.
A random penny apparently just fell out of nowhere and landed on me. (comment

On head multiple times
This happens to my fiancé a lot. It won’t fall near him, only on the top of his
head. I’ve personally witnessed it a handful of times in the couple years we’ve
been living together. I remember the first time it happened, we were brushing our
teeth together in the mirror when it happened and it absolutely blew my mind
when he wasn’t freaked out in the slightest by it. It’s been happening to him for
as long as he can remember, but I remember doing some research on it and it
having something to do with communicating with loved ones that have passed.

Dropping in one's lap
This happened to my girlfriend shortly after her father died. She was working at
my sister's deli and at clean up time washing the tables she would hear a coin hit
the table after she cleaned it off. Sometimes she would be sitting out side on a
break and a penny would land in her lap. (comment on post on Reddit)
