Yeah... it's quaint isn't it? Goes back a long way. Folklore is also that if you left a small coin in a tree at the edge of a forest, the fairies (or pixies) would accept it as payment and grant you safe passage by making you invisible to the dragons, so you didn't get eaten. It's always worked for me.
Folks still do this today in rural areas and even if they can't find a stone to hammer in a coin, or a suitable crevice to wedge it into, they may just lay the coin on a branch. You'd think people would take the coins wouldn't you... but they don't.
I keep six honest serving-men (they taught me all I knew); Their names are What and Why and When and How and Where and Who.
