It’s a stretch. People put paper in those jars, not coins. But if we’re doing paper, I’ll add Harry Chapin’s Taxi. And if we’re really stretching, Loudon Wainwright III’s Dead Skunk, because it’s all about a Large Scent.

That song was released in.1973. I'm sure that 50 years ago a lot of coins ended up in tip jars.
Now you can throw a** silver dollar**
Down on the ground
And it'll roll because it's round
A woman never knows
What a good man she's got
Until, he puts her down.
If I had all the money in the world
I'd probably burn it all
If I had all the riches in the world
I'd surely burn it all
One in a million, money gonna kill a man
Why must we lose control?
Coins are Neato!

Good one! And great solo by Duane Allman at the beginning of the song. His clean, precise playing shows his genius.
Duane Allman and no "Midnight Rider"?
"I've got one more silver dollar...."
And there's two numismatic references in "Row Jimmy" by the Grateful Dead.
"Here's a half a dollar, if you dare,
Double twist when you hit the air..."
and
"Two bit piece don't buy no more
Not so much as it done before..."
Midnight Rider is in the OP.
Edited to add: Note that I was tagged in the OP.
Sorry, my mistake. Seemed obvious and it was.
But "Row Jimmy" qualifies as a double. I hope that makes up for it.
Anyone mention "Me and My Uncle"? "My uncle grabbed the gold, and we hightailed it down to Mexico." and "Taught me so well, I grabbed that gold, and I left his dead ass there by the side of the road."
And then there's Little Feat-"Fat man in the bathtub", for one.
"Well, I don't want nobody who won't dive for dimes
I don't want no speedballs 'cause I might die tryin'"
and
"Let me put my money in your meter, baby, so it won't run down"
and many more......

"Tax Man" by the Beatles:
Now my advice for those who die

Declare the pennies on your eyes

That's probably not good for one of us. Not sure which one.

"Tuppence" is British slang for two penny coins.

You guys gotta read the whole thread before you start postin'.
There's a song by the band Live called "The Distance"
It starts out:
Let him come into the city
Let him find his lucky penny
Let him put it in his pocket
And shake it all around
My bad… I did read the whole thread but missed it. Sorry
Money (that’s what I want) - the Beatles. I think this was a cover; not sure who was the original artist.

I don't think that Peggy-O by the Grateful Dead has been mentioned.
"I would marry you, but your guineas are too few."
Maybe he only collected crowns and Maundy sets.
