I actually just saw one of these for the very first time when Ralphie's mom was putting two quarters in her change can at 26:30 in A Christmas Story 2 on Netflix. I put it on pause to research its origin and that's what brought me here. The date happens to be covered by another penny, yet the swastika was plainly evident and that's what grabbed my attention. Yes, Hitler defiled many things, the swastica included, yet this is what it actually meant to several of our southwestern first nation peoples... "It was used by many southwestern tribes, most notably the Navajo. Among different tribes the swastika carried various meanings. To the Hopi it represented the wandering Hopi clans; to the Navajo it represented a whirling log ( tsil no'oli' ), a sacred image representing a legend that was used in healing rituals."
