The custom of spitting on money for luck is a relic of the time when bodies and property were anointed with the urease of animals as a sign of' Ownership. Spitting was first a way of consecrating or anointing property,_ and it then became a method of ensuring good luck and the safety of property from theft. It was also a charm against witches and evil influences.
