Discovering money by chance.
خلفية ثقافية
Latvians believe finding a coin with the 'head' up is a sign of good luck from the goddess Laima. Folklore is full of 'naudas podi' (money pots) that are found by brave or lucky individuals. Honesty is highly valued; finding a wallet usually leads to a post in a 'Found' Facebook group. Finding money in old clothes during spring cleaning is a common 'small joy' in Latvian households.
