CUSTOM
IF SOMEONE GAVE YOU A SHARP OBJECT FOR A GIFT, SUCH AS A KNIFE OR
SCISSORS, YOUR FRIENDSHIP WAS CONSIDERED CUT. THIS WAS COUNTERACTED
BY GIVING THE DONOR A COIN SUCH AS A PENNY.
Submitter comment:
INFORMANT WAS UNSURE AS TO THE ORIGIN OF THIS CUSTOM, BUT SHE THINKS
THAT IT COMES FROM GERMANY.
