Thanks for the Quora reference. (What a useful site!):

Charon most likely was given the post of ferryman of souls because of his family connections. He was a son of Erebus. [....] The soul had to pay for the passage so a coin, usually an obolus or danake, would be placed in the mouth or under the tongue of the deceased.
