<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 678548, member: 112&quot;]It depends on the coin. If a coin is of a certain age then quite often the hole is the result of a nail being driven through it. In years past, it was considered good luck to nail a coin up over the door of your business. Many people did this, and there the coin would stay for years, decades even.</p><p><br /></p><p>There was also a time when coins were holed so they could be sewn into your clothing so as to not lose them. And holed so they could be carried on a string for the same purpose.</p><p><br /></p><p>And sometimes coins were holed so the silver or gold could be kept and then the hole plugged with cheaper material of a similar color.</p><p><br /></p><p>So there are many reasons for a coin to be holed besides to be used a jewelry or kids messing around.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
