May 23 is Lucky Penny Day!
Why are pennies considered lucky? According to legend, metals, including copper, were seen as a gift for gods and other deities many centuries ago. They were believed to ward off evil, so anyone who had possession of such metal was considered protected, and therefore lucky. Makes cents, huh?
Heads or tails? Many people believe it's best to find pennies heads up — so leave the tails up pennies where you find them. Or else!
