I am the type of person that will bend over to pick up a stray coin, regardless of its denomination or location. I’ll just as eagerly pick up a penny or a dime that some luckless person has dropped. One penny is good luck, a dime is ten times good luck, and so the pattern goes.
If a coin has some unique feature or is difficult to come across it holds more luck. For example, a U.S. bicentennial quarter is so lucky to find that my heart races at the promise of good fortune!
Mercury dimes, wheat pennies, and new pennies each emanate their own type of luck. Mercury dimes will speed good fortune to your life on Mercury’s wings. Wheat pennies ensure that traditions will not be lost. And new pennies guarantee a fresh, brilliant new beginning.
The day that I found the buffalo nickel I was elated. I’ve always held a fascination for these coins because on the obverse is the regal profile of an American Indian and the reverse depicts the buffalo that was so important to their culture and lifestyle. A newer version of the Jeffersonian nickel also holds both Jefferson and a buffalo in profile on its’ opposing sides. When I found an America the Beautiful state quarter for “Kansas” I found yet another buffalo, this one grazing in a field with flowers. Oh lucky day!

I played the slot machines confident that I couldn’t lose. The trinity of buffalo coins ensured success. Unfortunately, the buffalos were asleep that afternoon and I did lose. Undaunted, I tossed the three coins into a fountain on my way out the door and wished for better luck the next time.
