Pwitz | Folklore: Silver coin for the baby (60* d) | RE: Folklore: Silver coin for the baby | 23 Aug 06 |
I was born in Surrey and as a child I always remember my mother doing it when she saw someone's baby for the first time - even it was only a silver sixpence or a 'two bob' bit - this was in the 1950s!! And like Emma B. says, it was always put into the baby's hand. |
