Pocket good-luck charm
A lucky coin is a coin kept for its supposed ability to bring good fortune.
People carry them in pockets, place them in shoes, or keep them in special locations.
The coin might be chosen for its date, origin, or circumstances of acquisition—a coin found heads-up, a foreign coin from a memorable trip, or one minted in a significant year.
