The sound of a real coin hitting a hard surface has been used for decades in film, animation and games as a quick audio cue for money, long before short form video. Short recordings like this one circulated online as ringtones and soundboard clips under the Russian word moneta, meaning coin. Editors kept reusing it because the meaning needs no translation and works in any language. It remains popular for payment jokes, reward moments, thrift and selling videos, and retro gaming edits where a single clink completes the visual gag.
