Future archaeologists will be left to ponder the ritual significance of this object. Why were so many people buried with this grave good?

The Egyptians were buried with their wealth. Wonder if they’ll think we ate ours & then plugged ourselves up to prevent any from leaking out?

Maybe we should start dumping a bunch of pennies in our coffins to support this hypothesis?

The only problem I can see with this plan is the volume of unpennied vs pennied graves. I think the best bet is to get a shovel and $100 worth of pennies then head to the graveyard.
