Anyone know where the custom of putting a coin under a mast started?
What's it for?

Under my main mast I have a 5 dollar coin from the Bucket of Blood
casino, and under the mizzen a JFK 50 cent coin.

What coin is under your mast?

I have a silver dollar that General Motors paid me for a patent.
Couldn't spend it because it's molded in acrylic with my name and the
patent's name. I drilled holes in the four corners and screwed it down
to the step.
