Sixpence

Something old,
Something new,
Something borrowed,
Something blue,
And a Sixpence in her shoe.
What is a Sixpence?
The sixpence is an English coin that was minted beginning in 1558 and continued until 1967. Sixpence are no longer minted in England and are becoming rare.
The Tradition of the Sixpence
According to tradition, during the early 1600's the Lord of the Manor presented a sixpence to the bride as a wedding gift. Toward the end of the seventeenth century, it became the custom for the bride's parents to give the sixpence as a dowry gift to the groom.
As time went on the custom of using the sixpence as a good luck coin continued into the 1800's. Today brides throughout the British Isles, the U.S. and other countries world wide, still place a sixpence in their left shoe for good luck.
