Throwing Coins At A Wall?

[Binkston1]

Just a quick query regarding folklore/superstition. I had a dream last night which featured an event that seemed very familiar but I can't seem to link it to reality.

In the dream I was attending a family wedding and my mother arrived with a bag-full of pound coins. She then proceeded to throw them one at a time at the four walls of the room that we were in. The coins were thrown with some force and it was believed that this would be removing ill-feeling and bringing the newly-weds good luck.

Does this have any grounding in superstition or have I entirely conjured it up from nowhere?

Don't know about weddiings and superstition but sounds like the "Penny up the wall" game that use to be played when I was at school. The nearest one to the wall won.

It sounds a bit like a cross between the penny up the wall game and the old tradition of a scramble which occurs at quite a lot of scottish weddings where usually the groom throws coins onto the ground for the kids who all rush forward and grab what they can. Hope this helps

This cursory listing of rituals and superstitions relating to moving into a new home mentions something that may be relevant ...

Here's a worthwhile way to use your change: Scatter coins in the living room on the first day you move in and prosperity will reign while you live in your new home — at least, according to Philippine tradition.
