Why are coins left on headstones?

I'm not very sure the accuracy of this, but I've seen on television (History Channel? Discovery?) that ancient Greeks and later on Romans left a pile of coins over the tombstone of the departed loved ones. The coins were meant to pay Charonte (in the greek mythology it was the entity responsible for delivery the death over the Lethe River). The Lethe River was believed to erase all the memory of the deaths. Nowadays I've heard and seen some tombstones with coins engraved but don't know the true meaning.

Where is Moses' headstone?

A:Deuteronomy 34:5-6 says that Moses died in Moab and was buried secretly. This was so that no one knew where his grave was, although the same concerns did not seem to apply to his illustrious predecessors or to those who followed. Deuteronomy 34:10 could explain this diffidence, saying that "there arose not a prophet since in Israel." This demonstrates that the Book of Deuteronomy was written long after the establishment of Israel and therefore very long after Moses would have died. The author knew nothing about the burial of Moses many centuries earlier but knew that it would have been natural for his readers to want to visit the site of Moses' grave. If indeed Moses was a historical person, there was no headstone and we do not know where he was buried.
