Irish Lucky Penny

Legend has it that you should always keep a one penny coin with you for luck. In old Ireland, at fairs and markets, it was common to give luck money. Usually it was a penny when a transaction had taken place. When you see a new moon, turn your Lucky Penny over in your hand three times and you will have luck and prosperity. The tradition of the Lucky Penny is still observed in Ireland. If you move to a new home, get married, have a new baby or even buy a new car you will be gifted some luck money to bring you luck on your new venture.
