An old superstition that many still do for fun or specifically, for luck. The idea that the lucky penny being picked up is connected to early beliefs about where the metal came from, as well as the thought that metal represents power and wealth. It usually brings good luck to the person who picks it up, and you are obliged to offer the penny to another person in order to share the good fortune.
I actually found this in school too. I've found three lucky pennies already, but this one was my favorite because it's rare for me to encounter a 5-centavo coin (and also because it's extremely small). Well, I haven't given the coins I found to anyone yet, since I still need six more coins ^^
I used a photo editing app called "Epik" for the photo taken.
Epik has many uses and provides a lot of necessary features, so firstly I enhanced the photo since it was still quite blurry and had some visible tiny pixels.

I lowered the brightness since it was too shiny, adjusted its contrast so that it won't be too sharp. As for the saturation, I actually decreased it, which is why it kind of looks like a black and white photo.
For the highlights and shadows, I also lessened them since it would be too bright and shiny, so I made sure to balance out the highlights and shadows.
The set up during taking the photo, the coin was on top of a tablet, as you can see it has some pattern or texture on the background which is actually the casing of the tab.
I wanted to keep the photo as simple as possible, so that it gives off a mysterious vibe from it.

( b^^)b I chose this because as stated, "You are obliged to offer the penny to another person in order to share the good fortune." Perhaps someone who sees this might receive a little luck. |
