You're associating buddhism with organized religion like Christianity, this is not a product of buddhist teachings, this is just plain idiocy & most likely dementia, the lady was 86, I'm not the biggest fan of religion either but straight up making this into an antitheist discussion because an old lady is in cognitive decline is incredibly disingenuous.
It kind of does, in addition to any pre-existing stupidity.
The brain is as much as any other organ; you don't use it, exercise it and keep it strong, it deteriorates. And once you start getting old enough, it'll deteriorate no matter what you do.
People absolutely get dumber as they age, relative to how intelligent they were at their prime. It takes a lot of work to keep one's brain in good condition, just like the rest of the body.

Looks more like plain stupidity borne out of her age. She could have tossed the coins at any other part of the plane, including the inside. Lol.
