Coin

Value, exchange, what is being paid for what.

GreekFolkJungian

The coin is worth rendered portable. Greek tradition placed a coin on the tongue of the dead to pay Charon. Jungian analysis reads coin-dreams as questions of value: what you are paying for what, what you are asked to give up, what you find. Old coins often carry ancestral material; found coins, a gift the psyche is reporting. Notice the denomination and whose likeness the coin bears.
