Ever heard of a myth involving placing coins in the corners of a room?
Several years ago when I remodeled my condo, I pulled up the carpet to paint the baseboard (was going to replace the carpet anyway) and found coins in each corner of each room underneath the carpet. They were normal US change, different amounts, sometimes one, sometimes several. I thought that was kind of weird. Every single corner covered by carpet had at least one coin stuck underneath.
Is there a myth or some sort of folklore or wives' tale that could explain this? Or the work of a previous owner who was just crazy? I have heard that a previous owner did have a reputation to be a bit mentally unstable. But I only met her once and didn't think to ask about the coins. I search the internet at the time but didn't find anything.

Chinese coins are essential ingredients in the practice of Feng Shui. It is the most potent symbol of wealth, especially when tied with yellow, red and gold thread. They are rounded shape with a square hole in the center. The circle represents the shape of heaven while the square represents the shape of earth. When used by humans, they represent the engagement luck of "Heaven-Earth-Man".
It was believed that you can activate wealth by placing 3-coins tied with the mystic knot in the four corners of every room in your home and office. The mystic knot gives the coins added potency and sets up wealth vibrations through the foundations of your home or business premise. Or tape 3-coins in southeast corner of your bedroom, workdesk, living room etc to activate your wealth corner.

In Roman Paganism, coins and/or gifts were left in the corners of the home or property lines to pay homage to the god Terminus (the root of the English word "termination" or boundary), who protected and brought prosperity to the occupants.
