Pocket change?

Another idea for spare change--

The pancakes went over well last night. And by went over well, I mean went over the cabinets. Apparently there is an old French tradition that entails putting a coin into the first crepe and flipping it up on top of the cupboards. They do this for luck. But losing a yummy crepe to dusty furniture seems decidedly unlucky.

The tradition of putting a coin (or small token) in the Galette du Roi-- the King's Cake for Epiphany makes much more sense. Whoever gets that piece gets to wear a crown. (I found a tiny Luke Skywalker in one Robbie Burns Night!)
