I know some people believe it's good luck to though a new penny in a new car, so the car will never run up bills, or to put anew penny in a brand new handbag or wallet so you will always have money in it.
My maternal grandma believed these old wives tales.
She also believed if you were stuck at a red traffic light, hold your breath, count to ten , and make. Wish
If the light then turned green your wish will come true.
