It was a symbol of the groom not needing his bride's dowry to take care of her so he threw the coins (specifically to the children) as part of his generosity -- how he felt so honored with his gift from his new father-in-law (his bride) that he must spread it out to the community. Many cultures have done this -- Scotland, Ireland, Germany, even Iran. You can make a nod to this today by tossing those chocolate coins during the reception -- a good option if you wish to skip the garter toss, like more and more people are doing these days, and a great way to involve the kids at your wedding.
