Find a penny and pick it up
Like the rest of my wife's family, I drive a mid-1970s Rover sedan (pictured). Clearly, we got it used. As opposed to my having bought it when I was eight.So, this morning I was looking through the glove box, and I found a penny: a penny from Fiji. Pretty neat!
If finding a penny brings good luck, does finding a foreign penny bring even more?

Yes, but if you find an American penny, does that count as foreign?
thats a good question, dave (although, they dont seem to work for americans).
Heh! :)
Well, if I came across one outside the house - yeah, that'd be pretty special.
I occasionally find a New Zealand coin in my change. Kind of like being in the U.S. and finding a Canadian coin: pretty nifty -- until you realize that you were ripped off by 20%! :)

This sounds like a Grease reference. Was it supposed to be a Grease reference?
Slag,
Sorry - I don't follow. Which specific bit?
(But: nope.)

The part when Marty tried to give Kenickie the penny that Frenchy found only to drop it outside his car door, at which time, Kenickie hit his head when he bent down to pick it up, thereby making way for Danny Zuko to drive Greased Lightning to victory...of course. :)
WOW. You are hard core.
Nope -- nothing like that. Just an old folk-saying.
