The Story of Dimes

Have you ever found a dime in an unexpected place? Many people believe that finding a dime is a special sign from a loved one who has passed away, a gentle reminder that they’re still with us in spirit. For me personally, I find dimes everywhere and in the weirdest places...  and to top it off, I can't remember the last time I actually paid cash for something since everything these days is digital!  So there has to be something to this right?  Maybe and maybe not, but I choose to believe it is someone special leaving these for me and so I wanted to share this story with you to know if this is something you've also witnessed.  Do you see dimes too?

The Meaning Behind Finding Dimes

For generations, finding a dime has been viewed as a sign of reassurance, often attributed to the presence of a loved one watching over us. Whether it’s spotted on the ground, tucked in a pocket, or placed strategically on a table, these little coins carry a weight of significance for many. They remind us that love transcends time and space, providing a sense of comfort during moments of grief and longing.

Our Connection to Dimes

If you know our brand you probably already know that we have a pretty keen fondness for pennies and dimes... in fact we have an entire "Canadiana" collection dedicated to celebrating the importance of these symbols and the significance they hold for each of us. Over the years we've set thousands of pennies and dimes in sterling silver frames to create commemorative keepsakes that honour your important memories whether it be a birthday, anniversary, or any moment that holds a special meaning for you.

When you wear a Citrus piece you're not only wearing a piece of history, but also a symbol of the important memories you created.  Your stories of family and personal connection and are what inspires us to create meaning keepsake pieces.

For me, I choose to believe that the dimes I find have been left for me by my late mom who passed away earlier this year.  Each dime I find is an opportunity to reflect on her memory and the incredible impact she had on me and my sister.  Yes this could all just be a coincidence and maybe just a sign of a messy house but one thing is for sure, I find them everywhere and with every treasure, I take opportunity to pause and reflect on her memory, taking comfort knowing that my beautiful mom is somehow, somewhere watching over me. Thank you Mom!
