Even the most skeptical among us can get a wee bit superstitious when spying a lucky little coin on the ground. Today you should be especially prescient since it's 'Lucky Penny Day.' As far as I can tell, this lucky title was attached to the penny since some olden coins were made from precious metals. As far back as the ancient Roman days, some pennies were actually made of gold, until the Romans figured out how foolish that federal reserve was. Fast forward a couple of centuries and the penny started being made from copper and other ores. But every once in a great while someone tremendously lucky would stumble upon one of those precious pre-modern pennies, hence all that luck attached. As aforementioned, most of us will still stoop to pick up the penny at our feet even though the odds of finding one made of gold are zero to none with none leaving town. However, coins can be pretty lucky where Feng Shui is concerned.

In fact, one secret Shui abundance cure calls for three coins of any denomination to be wrapped separately in red tissue paper. Each of these individually wrapped coins should then be 'planted' inside the dirt of a jade plant that is placed somewhere inside the 'Wealth' area of your home or office.

Carrying exactly 49 coins in your change purse or wallet is also thought to be lucky, as is placing a gold dollar coin in each corner of your dining room. So, it's not just the Romans who could create big fortunes from small coins. Now you can too!
