1946 USA Encased Lucky Penny "Keep Me And You Will Have Good Luck!" Russell H. Fluent
Lucky pennies like this were popular midcentury baubles, often bought as souvenirs or handed out as advertisements. Centring a penny encased in a base metal ring, the exterior frame usually wishes the bearer good luck. This example reads, "Keep Me And You Will Have Good Luck" and advertises "Russell H. Fluent Good Government." Russell Harrison Fluent (1896-1982) was Washington State Treasurer from 1945 to 1949. Over the course of his political career, Fluent ran for office seven times and lost all but two. He was also charged with malfeasance and misappropriation of public funds. Sounds like he could have used a lucky penny!
