Coins

Coins often touch the small, countable measures of worth and exchange we carry — gold's bright promise, silver's quiet discord. The dream may ask how you reckon your own value, where you feel rich or burdened, and whether the currency you set your heart on is truly the one that will serve you.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for coins, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.

Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901

Ten Thousand Dreams Interpreted

To dream of gold, denotes great prosperity and much pleasure derived from sight-seeing and ocean voyages.

Silver coin is unlucky to dream about. Dissensions will arise in the most orderly families.

For a maiden to dream that her lover gives her a silver coin, signifies she will be jilted by him.

Copper coins, denotes despair and physical burdens. Nickel coins, imply that work of the lowest nature will devolve upon you.

If silver coins are your ideal of money, and they are bright and clean, or seen distinctly in your possession, the dream will be a propitious one.
