READING

Customs about Money around the world.

∙ In the Czech Republic, some people believe the custom of placing fish scales under the dinner plates or tablecloth at
the Christmas dinner table is said to bring wealth to the home. Some people apparently carry a fish scale in the wallet
to generate money.

∙ Some Turkish people believe that if the first customer throws silver coins onto the floor of a business, it will attract
more people. Sometimes when a first costumer enters the shop, he might be given a coin by the clerk so that he can
perform the lucky ritual.

∙ Some Indian shop-owners will not let the first window-shopper of the day leave without buying something, even if it
is only a button or a pin, as it is considered unlucky for the rest of the day. That must some pressure for the costumer!

∙ Other people in India and Pakistan kiss money and press it against their eyes for good luck. If you do this in front of a
temple, it’s even better. People usually have a coin whenever they pass in front of a temple so they do it.
