Very surprising to suddenly see such a pile of coins. The coins come from different countries.

I’ve now done a little internet research into the post with the coins inserted into it. Apparently there is an old superstition about putting a coin in a wishing tree to rid oneself of an illness. I guess the post in this case represents the tree so is perhaps a wishing post. However, don’t be tempted to remove any coins otherwise the tale says you will get the illness of the person who put it there!

Part way along the Coast Path between Penzance and Porthleven there is a wooden post which has had coins inserted into it. Most of the coins are rusty and some look very old. I added my own coin to the collection and intend to do a little more research into the history as I’ve not seen this before on the Coast Path. If you have any info or suggestions please add a comment.
