Some gardeners are perplexed by the following situation: when digging flowerbeds or loosening plants, they discover old coins in the soil. Or, observant gardeners notice their neighbors burying money under trees or in the corners of their houses. There are two reasons why it's acceptable to bury small change.
Signs
According to folk belief, burying copper kopecks in the corners of a house when laying its foundation will protect the owners from thieves and evil spirits. If the house is already built, burying coins can appease the brownie or invite him into the house if this guardian of the home has abandoned his domain for some reason.
To keep dacha thieves away from the property, and to prevent neighbors from envying and jinxing the plantings, three doubloons of any denomination are buried in the ground at the corners of the property and the dacha. This should be done silently, in silence, ideally at dawn. While burying the money, silently repeat to yourself, "money to money, my home is in a castle." This defense is renewed once a year or more frequently if a diagnosis or unpleasant premonition occurs.
If a bannik is rampaging through the outbuildings, strangling birds and tying pigtails on horses' manes, they persuade him to stop misbehaving with a treasure they leave on their property. The bag is filled with inexpensive trinkets, shiny candy wrappers, and a little money. When the bannik finds such an offering, he will stop causing mischief on the property.

Benefits for plants
If the soil in your garden is infertile, acidic, or waterlogged, good vegetables and fruits won't grow. In such soil, the absorption and processing of iron (Fe) molecules is impaired, so plant roots may rot or fail to thrive. To remedy this, bury a few coins in the soil in your garden bed. Their purchasing power isn't important; what matters is the metal they're made from—it should oxidize when exposed to water and air. Simply put, the coin should rust.
By scattering coins around the garden bed, they will be watered in the spring when the snow melts, releasing iron ions into the soil. Therefore, iron coins help enrich the soil and balance its mineral composition.

Is it possible to pick up other people's coins?
Some gardeners question whether it's safe to pick up other people's coins and how often to remove and exchange their own. Here are two simple rules to follow:
- other people's rubles and hryvnias buried in the ground on your property can be taken into your hands;
- There is no need to dig up old coins, you can only add new nickels into the ground.
Of course, you shouldn't bury coins by the kilogram in your garden; 5-25 coins per square meter of garden bed will suffice. The longer a coin is kept in the soil, the more positively charged ions react with the cations. humusCoins have a number of advantages over other items that gardeners also bury in their gardens.
Old nails, screws, and bolts can cause cuts or injuries when stepped on. This can lead not only to injury and infection, but also to the dangerous infection tetanus. Fruit cans can also cut a gardener's hands, even through work gloves; they also emit far fewer ions than copper coins.
But no one would hide a lining in the ground with the intention of harming the owners, so money discovered by chance does not carry any negativity or evil.
To improve the mineral composition of the soil and ensure a good harvest and beautiful plants, iron morsels can be dug into acidic soil. These morsels, through a chemical reaction, enrich the soil with inorganic compounds. Rituals are also performed on these morsels to improve family relationships, protect the home, and ensure successful gardening.
