Hi everyone!
I found a guardian angel coin at the bottom of my luggage bag today:

Found-A-Gift-At-The-Bottom-Of-My-Luggage!

I've gone through my luggage and emptied it so many times, so I was very surprised to see this sitting at the bottom!! I've been looking around all over online and found a couple of posts on here from others who found them.. so I thought I'd share :)
I've never seen one until today so I feel very happy. I still wonder how it found it's way into my luggage...

That's cool that someone thought enough to slip that into your luggage. We should all have an anonymous guardian angel looking over us in our travels. Have a healthy and happy New Year.

Edit: I think I'm going to order some of these to have on hand. I'll secretly slip them to people that come to visit or whatnot. I think it's a really thoughtful gesture.

Being a devil's advocate here:
Would gold St Christopher's medals be a good way to smuggle small amounts of gold?

One would not be enough and a bagful might be suspicious.
