This coin is smiling at you – and it's double lucky with a clover in the middle! Our lucky penny coloring page is perfect for the littlest artists. Print it for free and add some color for New Year's.
Why this lucky penny is great for little ones
The coin is one big circle with a thick rim – an easy shape that small hands can color with confidence. At the top it has two big eyes, rosy cheeks and a smile, with a big clover right below. Little stars line the inside edge, and even more stars twinkle around the outside. The bold lines look just like a sticker.

What is a lucky penny?
In Germany, people give each other a lucky cent – a small coin – at New Year's. Many tuck it into their wallet so it will never run out of money. In the US, there's a similar saying: “Find a penny, pick it up, all day long you'll have good luck.” Coins are lucky in other places too: in Greece, families bake a New Year's cake with a coin hidden inside. Whoever gets the slice with the coin is said to have extra luck all year.
