Here's a little college lore I stumbled upon. It is sometimes important to put the penny back where you found it:
"The statue of President Truman in Pickler Memorial Library is said to bestow good fortune on any student who borrows a penny from his hat for a test. Beware, however, for any good fortune might be negated if the penny is not returned the same day. These 'Truman Pennies' are placed by students studying for tests in the library, and it is also considered good luck to place a penny in the hat."
