It was once believed that metal was a gift from the gods, thereby endowing it with protection and auspicious power. This was especially true for copper, from which pennies are made. Copper is ruled by Venus, which means pennies can attract good luck to those who know how to use it for such purposes.

I'm starting a fund that runs on luck, caffeine, and denial - joke

OK! I've responded to all 77 poetry submissions for the night. This was a lot of fun.

Now the cat is yelling at me to come to bed (he's such a little weirdo), so off to get five hours of sleep and then try to work in the morning.

Good night!

... and if anyone wonders, I absolutely did flip a coin to decide between two submissions (I'll never tell which ones!).

Thought it was appropriate to the theme.
