Other reason is that in ancient time Indian currency was made using copper unlike aluminium, stainless steel & some other elements now a days.
Copper is significant for health. Thus our ancestors had started a custom of throwing coins in river as rivers were the only source of water that time. If coin remains in rivers for a long time then copper present in coin gets dissolved in river water & becomes beneficial for those who drink it.
