Find a penny, pick it up, and all the day......

I remember being a little kid and picking up pennies when I found them. It was suppose to bring good luck. According to Wikipedia, "Finding a penny is sometimes considered lucky and gives rise to the saying, "Find a penny, pick it up, and all the day you'll have good luck." This may be a corruption of "See a pin and pick it up, all the day you'll have good luck" and similar verses, as quoted in The Frank C. Brown collection of North Carolina folklore and other places.
It is also believed that one may get rid of bad luck by dropping a penny on the ground. The bad luck will go with the coin and be acquired by the next person to pick it up."

So, today I went for a walk and didn't find a penny. I found a dime! Wow! Does that mean I get 10 times the luck?  Probably not. With the rise of inflation, I'm not even sure that my dime is worth what a penny was back in my childhood.

I actually walked past the dime and then made a u-turn to go pick it up. Call me superstitious, but I didn't want to pass up any luck if there was any to be had.

I already feel like a lucky person. So, I'm sure I don't need the dime. But, it's shiny and relatively new. The date is 2006.  I guess I will put it in my coin purse and that will be that!

But, wait a minute, CoinTrackers.com has estimated the 2006 D Roosevelt Dime Value at a minimum of 15 cents, one in great shape can be worth $1 or more.

Maybe my dime won't bring me luck, but it could bring me more cents!

Richly,
