...unless it's on tails, then it stays. I'm not sure where this superstition came from for me, my mother probably. She's the reason I try to never split a pole with anyone I know. It drives a wedge or something or another... but for the coin, it's "bad" luck if it's not on heads. AND if you pick up a coin on tails it brings the face value of days for bad luck. HAHAHA - Okay, writing that makes me feel the need to be more "financially savvy" instead!
