"Lucky Sixpence"
Card reads as follows:
For centuries this little silver coin has been referred to as "The Lucky Sixpence." Now that it is no longer minted, it has become a collector's item. Some customs and traditions tied to it are:
CHRISTMAS: Sixpences are wrapped in wax paper and stuffed into the plum pudding. It means a prosperous new year if you get one in your serving of Christmas pudding.
BABY: "Crossing a baby's palm with silver." By placing it in a new baby's hand, it will bring health, wealth, and happiness. Crossing a baby's palm with silver is still practiced in England.
BRIDE: "Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue and a lucky sixpence for her shoe." Made popular as a wedding tradition by brides of the Victorian Era.
GOLFER: Often tossed in the bottom of the golf bag for luck on the course
LADIES: Be sure to carry one in your purse.
....and remember...See a sixpence, pick it up....and all the day you'll have good luck.
