Coal - Etymology and folklore
The word "coal" came from Anglo-Saxon col, which meant charcoal. Coal was not mined in Britain before the late Middle Ages; i.e. after ca. 1000 AD. Mineral coal was referred to as sea-coal, either because it was found on beaches occasionally having fallen from the exposed coal seams above or washed out of underwater coal seam outcrops, or because it was easier to transport by sea rather than on the very poor road system; in London, England there is still a Seacoal Lane (off the north side of Ludgate Hill) where the coal merchants conducted their business
It is associated with the astrological sign Capricorn. It is carried by thieves to protect them from detection and to help them to escape when pursued.

Santa Claus is said to leave a lump of coal instead of Christmas presents in the stockings of naughty children.
