Of course several reasons for coinage under the seat, at least one of which was the custom of my era. When a friend first showed you his new (or used) car, you took some coins from you pocket and tossed them into the car. Do people still do this?
Back in 1989 when I bought a new but left over 1988 Ford Tempo (my second new car - the first being a 1977 VW Beetle Convertible) I took it over to a friends house to show it to them. When I had the trunk open, Michael reached into his pocket and tossed in all the change he had under the trunk mat. I was astonished and must have looked it for he explained it was for "Good Luck" (I thought maybe it was to be able to call AAA). I still have the Tempo and it only has 68,000 miles on it. And yes, the coins are still under the mat. They must have worked as I have never had any trouble with it.
