The Jew with a coin (Żyd z pieniążkiem), also little Jew (Żydki) or lucky Jew ("Żyd na szczęście"), is a good-luck charm in Poland and elsewhere, where images or figurines of the character, usually accompanied by a proverb, are said to bring good fortune, particularly financially. The motif was first described in articles from 2000, and probably dates back to the early 1990s.
