"turn it all over"

[jctgf]

hi,

i was supposed to turn a bowl of coins into a container in order to pay my train ticket and i heard that sentence (or something similar) from a cashier at a subway station in toronto.

why "over" is used in this sentence?

thanks,

jc

‘Turn over’ is a phrasal verb. To ‘turn over’ in this context is to give or hand over something (your fare money) to someone, especially someone in authority (the Toronto transit cashier).

You put (or poured) the bowl of coins into the container.
