Maybe they’re just embarrassed they didn’t pay you any coins.

Charon was the dude in Greek mythology that transported souls across the River Styx, right? And you had to pay him a coin in order for him to do that (according to legend). That's why ancient Greeks were sometimes buried with coins - so they’d have something to give him for their journey. That’s what I thought your username was referencing haha.

Wow that totally went over my head haha I was focused on the coyote part. Yes about the Greek mythology part. Always thought it was a cool myth about a soul’s last journey :-)
