'A penny for luck' MacroMondays - Superstition
As a young boy growing up in the 1940s when things were scarce and rationed, Whitsuntide was the time when a set of new 'best clothes' arrived and I was despatched around the neighbours to show off my suit and receive a good luck penny in my top pocket - then away to Sunday School.
This exceedingly well-worn penny, disappearing into my pocket, is from Victoria's reign when a penny was a 240th part of a pound sterling and is from the 1870s (final figure unreadable).
