No, but the Ancient Egyptians believed that the souls of the dead had to pay Charon, the boatman who ferried them across the mythical River Styx to the Otherworld. This was why most of them were buried with money on their bodies. The practice was curiously continued as an unexplainable custom by Christianity up until a few decades ago, when some people would be buried with pennies covering their eyes.
