The presence of minor damage on a coin does not mean that the banknote will not be accepted for payment.

Small scratches, abrasions and even bends do not indicate that the coin lacks signs of being valid.

However, folk signs do not advise spending such coins.

Slightly damaged banknotes are best used as a talisman or amulet.

According to beliefs, such money can bring good luck and happiness into the life of its owner.

It is believed that using a damaged coin as a talisman increases the chances of wealth.

In addition, such a monetary sign can provide a person with protection from the evil eye and damage: the money is able to take the “blow”.

But in order for the amulet to be truly effective, it must be kept in a certain place and in such a way that no one else sees the coin.

The ideal place to store such a talisman is a compartment of your wallet that almost always remains closed.
