“Find a penny, pick it up, and all day long you’ll have good luck.”
Some believe that any found penny will bring good luck, while others believe that only a penny lying face-up should be picked up. The latter thought stems from an ancient belief that there is a battle between good and evil. The heads of a penny became associated with good, while tails became associated with evil—or came to be seen as being unlucky. Those who ascribe to this belief often will flip over a tails-up penny so that the next person who finds it will find it as heads.
Some have proposed discontinuing the production of the penny, but there are not yet concrete plans to do so. This is mainly because the penny costs more to make than it is worth. In 2014, it cost 1.67 cents to make a penny. Curent cost to make a penny is over 2 cents just to make 1 penny! To put this in perspective, in 2013 there were 55 million dollars lost making pennies.
Lucky Penny Day is observed annually on May 23rd.
