Definition

• Spanish: Coins or currency used for funerals in different cultures. Small billon coins were typically used in burials in Spain, from the 1200s to 1500s for the tradition of the ��bolo de Caronte. Small coins were pierced with tiny holes through which thin wire was strung so the pieces could be placed on the body as a necklace, bracelet or attached to a tooth. In Asia banknote replicas are often placed with bodies.
