In the US, finding a one cent coin - or "lucky penny" - is believed to bring good luck. Meanwhile, many Europeans customarily give religious coins or tokens to people they love. The coin is perceived as a symbol of fortune, and is given with wishes that it will bring luck and prosperity to the recipient.<br /><br />The Meaning of the Sealed Coin: A coin with a horseshoe motif is sealed within the Knight.
