Coins in trees. Anyone seen this before?

Went for a walk today at devils bridge in Ceredigion, spotted a stump with coins hammered into it, and then noticed this tree as well

I don't know anything about coins in trees. There is a pub in Suffolk that's got the same thing going on in the Oak beams. I can't remember which pub it is though, I've been in too many to remember.

 

Legend has it the coins were put there by local lads going off to the Great War, so on returning, they had their first pint "in". Sadly the fact remains that many coins stayed there as the men did not return. They remain there to this day.

 

Any of the Suffolk lads know which pub this is?

Aira Force in the Lake District has a wishing tree/log.

And a monkey puzzle that looks like its bark is slipping down.
