Squirmasaurus Valued Member Canada 95 Posts	Posted 09/29/2019 2:31 pm Hello again. So, I found this very shiny 1920 Canadian cent with a hole, slightly off center. First off, WHY would some one drill a whole through such a new looking old coin, and secondly, what am I supposed to do with it? Report this Post to the Staff

1960NYGiants Pillar of the Community United States 667 Posts	Posted 10/20/2019 11:57 am It was a tradition back in the day to nail a copper piece to a rafter when building a house. It was a token of good luck / fortune / prosperity for the family. These came to be known as "Rafter Cents". Usually found with square holes from hand cut nails.
