During outbursts of plague, people used to leave food for plague victims who paid for it by placing disinfected coins on a stone. Some stones were hollowed out to contain water or vinegar. Pendant les épidémies de peste, les malades venaient chercher de la nourriture déposée à leur intention à l'extérieur des villages ou des villes et payaient en déposant sur une pierre de l'argent préalablement désinfecté au vinaigre ou le déposaient dans une pierre creuse qui contenait de l'eau ou du vinaigre.
