I was always told something similar. When you put a purse away at the end of the season or until the next dressy event always leave a penny in it as a promise you haven’t forgotten it. I’ve sold a few as well and they always have one in the pocket. So far, only one recipient noticed and commented on it that she too had heard about this lore. Happy Poshing!

My Grandmother always did the same thing. If we got a new Easter purse, or a clutch for a dance, the first thing I would do is look for that shiny penny. Somehow I knew I was going to have a great day. Now that she has passed, I find pennies everywhere. When I sell a purse or wallet I always include a penny to pass on her tradition. ♥️💋♥️💋.

We have another tradition handed down through my grandmother's family. When you give someone a knife/set of knives as a gift, they must give you a "piece of silver" for good luck BEFORE it is received. The coin could be of any denomination, but has to be silver.

Me too! I always got a penny in purses I was given by my grandmother and mom. My daughter has never in her life gotten a purse without a lucky penny. I'm a new seller and put one on a note in the Dooney bag I sold saying "A lucky penny for your purse." I wondered if the buyer would know about the tradition; these posts show that many do. So glad you wrote about it!

What a beautiful idea and tradition!! I like to make my own “fortunes” on tiny pieces of paper which arn’t fortune telling they are quips, idioms, and curt affirmations/reminders that will fill the reader with positive energy and release negative.

@chaoticfiesta $2 bills ? That’s amazing!!!! I have a tradition with my besties where we take a two dollar bill on an occasion and together we rip it into two pieces while
Simultaneously wishing each other good energy and positivity and making an agreement to love one another until we love ourselves.

Omg! I thought my mom was the only one who did this. Anytime I sell/give a purse or wallet to someone I put a penny inside. My mom would say it was bad luck so she would always put a penny inside.

@terri_lynns this post rings true for me 😇 my Dad passed 1995, Mom in 2009. I find joy 🤩 every so often in various places “Pennies from Heaven 👼” I like to think they’re from my parents. Especially when I’m feeling down or confused 🫤 or the 🌎 is a 🥶 🖤’less place 🙏🏻
