In what lucky signs do Americans believe?

America is a modern-day country, but despite that Americans are very superstitious people.

Every fourth person in the United States believes in various horoscopes, but even more people believe in superstitions and signs.
So what do Americans think of luck?

One of the most important talismans in the US that brings good luck is a common $2 note. There is a belief that if you buy a lottery ticket with such a banknote, then it will bring you a big wins.

About the bill of $2 there are many legends and stories. Some people say that such a bill does not exist in the world at all. But this statement is inaccurate. Such banknotes exist, but there are very few of them, less than 1 per cent of all other notes. Of course seekers of large lottery winnings spread those rumours in the first place and do not give those notes to anyone.

Let's look at what other superstitions are associated with this $2 bill.
Americans believe that if you eat a piece of such a note, then happiness will knock on your door. This legend goes back to the time of the great American depression.

The most interesting is that two-dollar bills in the US are often found with a corner bitten off. So someone still eats such bills. Although the history keeps silence about whether the winnings came for such banknote eaters.
Also, the Americans claim that if $2 is kept in your wallet, the money will always be in it and will not decrease, but on the contrary, will only increase.

It is considered a good custom to give a $2 note for a birthday, because it will bring luck to the birthday person.
Many in America believe that the number 13 is unlucky.

In many hotels, apartments and organizations, the rooms with number 13 are skipped and after the 12th floor immediately goes the 14th. But the history knows many lucky people for whom it was the number 13 that brought luck and wealth.

Look at the one-dollar bill. You will see an olive branch with 13 petals and 13 olives, and a pyramid with exactly 13 steps. Above the head of the eagle is 13 stars and in its claws 13 arrows. Initially, the number of states in the US was also exactly 13.

Everyone decides himself or herself whether to believe in the signs or not. Someone uses common signs; someone comes up with their own. However, if it makes you stronger and determined, why not take advantage of this?
