COINS

This suit symbolizes avarice and the desire for personal and material gains. It is also symbolic of gluttony, lust, and many other obsessions. For the good, it can indicate the accumulation of wealth for a charity or just cause. For evil, it can mark the miser or greedy merchant who cheats his customers or the thief who comes in the night. It is a suit that is often associated with wealth and poverty. The old adage that "the love of money is the root of all evil" is clearly reflected in the darker cards of this suit. The elemental symbol of this suit is the air, from which the mists descend to cover the movements of the thief and mask the identity of criminals. Air is fleeting and nebulous, leaving one with no idea of the power that it has. Just as the unseen wind can overturn ships and topple buildings, so too can the inaudible siren's call of gold move men and nations to ruin and excess.
