Anyone bought wedding coins? Are they necessary and special meaning? I'd like to buy some. Could you show me them?

    Only wedding related coin I own is a gift from @SaorAlba, from 10 years ago. British silver sixpence my wife wore in her shoe.

    In Great Britain, the bride traditionally wears ‘Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue.’ But what is less well known is that the rhyme ends ‘and a silver sixpence in her shoe.’ For many years, the father of the bride would slip a sixpence into his daughter’s shoe before she walked down the aisle. The sixpence stood for good luck, and to show that the father wished his daughter prosperity in her marriage.
