who received the suggestions pleas

Why Called MpIn Money!

Why is it called pin money! The
answer to that question goes away
back to the fourteenth century Pins
were pins in those days! They were
not carelessly lost or cast away as
they are now. The law permitted that
they be sold only on the first two days
OF each January, in order that they
might not become too common 1t
therefore became the custom for
women of all classes to buy their
years supply of pins on those two
days, and the money given to them
by their husbands or fathers for that
purpose was pin money"
