it means every time someone puts a coin in the coffer of the church someone in purgatory is released to heaven.
Johann Tetzel claimed that indulgences could reduce the time one spent in purgatory for oneself or deceased loved ones. He asserted that purchasing these indulgences would grant forgiveness for sins and demonstrate a person's commitment to the Church. Tetzel famously promoted indulgences with the slogan, "As soon as a coin in the coffer rings, the soul from purgatory springs," highlighting the transactional nature of the practice. His claims contributed to widespread criticism and ultimately fueled the Protestant Reformation.
"When the coin in the coffer rings, the soul from purgatory springs." Johann or John Tetzel, a Dominican friar, was Pope Leo's master salesman. Tetzel traveled from village to village with a brass-bound chest, a bag of printed receipts and an enormous cross draped with the papal banner. His entrance into the town square, with the papal bull announcing the indulgence on a velvet cushion, was heralded with bells, candles, flags and relics. Staging his show in the nave of the local church, Tetzel would announce, 'I have here the passports to lead the human soul to the celestial joys of paradise. The Holy Father [the Pope] has the power in heaven and earth to forgive sin, and if he forgives it, God must do so also'. The cost of the indulgence, Tetzel was quick to point out, was cheap when the alternatives were taken into account. Among the demons and tempests in the medieval world, the indulgence, no matter the price, offered a glimpse of light in a world of darkness. In Germany, Tetzel exceeded his quota, as he always did. Indulgences were most popular among the peasants, yet it also hit them the hardest; they had the least money to spare. Tetzel's indulgence-selling campaign led Martin Luther to act on the frustrations that were consuming his thoughts. When Luther posted his 'Ninety-Five Theses', the sales of indulgences dropped considerably.
On October 31, 1517 Martin Luther posted a list of 95 paragraphs on the cathedral door. He was willing to debate those points. They were called "The 95 Thesis." They were soon translated into German and spread through the German speaking world. The best known quote from them is, "When a penny in the coffer rings, a soul from Purgatory springs." He created the Lutheran form of Protestantism. His translation of the Bible unified the German language. Probably Albanian and English are the only Germanic languages not affected by it.
The 95 theses was a list of 95 sentences that Luther offered to debate about. He would debate anyone on any particular sentence in the list. The list did not have an arrangement with chapter headings. The theology of the list has been characterized as having three main emphases: only grace, only faith, and only scripture. The specific cause for the list was the doctrine: When a penny in the coffer rings, a soul from Purgatory springs.
Martin Luther was considered a "crude man" by some due to his blunt and often confrontational style of communication, especially in his writings and speeches. He famously referred to the Pope as the Antichrist and criticized the sale of indulgences with the statement, "As soon as a coin in the coffer rings, the soul from purgatory springs," highlighting his disdain for corrupt church practices. Additionally, in his "Table Talk," he made remarks that were sometimes vulgar or unrefined, reflecting his unfiltered approach to challenging the established church.
Yes, that does sound heretical to me.
Johann Tetzel famously preached: "As soon as the coin in the coffer rings, the soul from purgatory springs." This slogan implied that purchasing indulgences could alleviate the suffering of deceased loved ones in purgatory.

The sale of indulgences that Martin Luther opposed was primarily associated with Johann Tetzel, a Dominican friar. Tetzel's aggressive marketing of indulgences in the early 16th century, particularly his famous phrase "As soon as a coin in the coffer rings, the soul from purgatory springs," highlighted the corruption Luther condemned. This practice contributed to Luther's 95 Theses, which criticized the Church's exploitation of believers and sparked the Protestant Reformation.

He oppose the church when Luther objected to a saying attributed to Johann Tetzel that "As soon as the coin in the coffer rings, the soul from purgatory also attested as 'into heaven' springs."He insisted that, since forgiveness was God's alone to grant, those who claimed that indulgences absolved buyers from all punishments and granted them salvation were in error. Christians, he said, must not slacken in following Christ on account of such false assurances.

This is a reference to the Dominican Friar Johann Tetzel and his propagating of the idea of Indulgence as outlined by Pope Leo X in the 16th C. Charged by the Pope to raise money for the reconstruction of St. Peter's Basilica in Rome, he manipulated the lay community by stating that they could pay to have their dead loved ones souls released from the temporary suffering of purgatory and ascend straight to heaven. Essentially, you could buy your way into heaven.
