I found this today while trying to find the answer to a question for a friend.....interesting superstition.....and I wonder how many half dollars were lost/forgotten due to drunkenness on new years eve hahaha.......any other superstitions you can think of that may have led to some of your very own or others MDing finds?
"Cabbage in the Pocket - is Cabbage Luck?
A site member, Bill Robinson, writes to us, relating an old food superstition that he encountered: " For financial luck in the new year you hide a silver dollar outside on New Year's Eve. Just before midnight you bring it in. The next day you slit a hole in a cabbage, put the silver dollar in, and cook the cabbage. You then eat the cabbage. I am sure it can be traced to an old wife's tale." Is it a coincidence, then, that one of our terms for money is 'cabbage?' "
I hope you all may find one of those silver dollers lost or forgotten
