some girls have actually bought sixpence on ebay, but most girls, if they are doing this, use a new penny. as for me, i am going to conveniently forget the last part of that saying

This lady actually gave me a crisp new dollar bill to put in my shoe. She said the saying is a dollar in your shoe. I did look it up though and saw that it is what you said. Maybe her family has a different tradition.

I never heard about a dollar, but i have heard a sixpence. My DOC says she gives them to her brides.

Well, I've heard of a penny though, not a dollar. Hey that was a nice jesture though. I don't think I can last with that. I want to be pain free. Maybe I'll put it in right before the ceremony and take it out after it.
