I did some looking when I recently visited Boston and saw that, and no one seems to have an answer. Probably someone's spare change fell out of their pocket when they rudely took a seat on the stone years ago, prompting the next person to inexplicably throw near-worthless change at it, and so on.

Now I want to see if I can start that "tradition" somewhere.

Perhaps by Kilroy at the WWII memorial, or at the base of the Lincoln memorial.
