Mouse Money Tree

I have window boxes in front of my apartment and vegetable growing boxes inside one of the windows. The building I am in also has a problem with mice. This morning I was doing some work on the boxes which involved adding new soil from a bag I got last year and have not used since last summer. Pulling it out I found that the mice had gnawed a hole in the bottom, and pouring the soil out I discovered that they had also collected dropped coins and planted them in the soil.

What the hell is that about? I cannot see any use the mice would have for coins, so cannot understand why they would store them, and I doubt that they were trying to grow them. So why the heck were the mice collecting and hiding coins?
