Remember the meaning of the coins on Memorial Day.
A coin left on a headstone lets the deceased soldier's family know that somebody stopped by to pay their respect. A penny means you visited. A nickel means you and the deceased veteran trained at boot camp together. A dime means you and the deceased veteran served together in some capacity.
A quarter means you were with them when they were killed.
