Is there some meaning for the coins on top of his headstone ?

Much like the Jewish custom of placing a stone on top of the marker, the
coins are meant as a gesture of respect. At Arlington they are cleaned off
each night. Can't have any possible "rust rings" to disturb the sanctity of
the markers.
