jingled

Rang with coins

Jingled is the past tense of jingle, meaning to make or cause a light, metallic ringing sound—the noise of small metal objects striking each other: Keys jingled in his pocket, She jingled the coins in her hand.

The sound suggests cheerful, high-pitched clinking rather than heavy clanging.
