Growing up I used to hear that money does not grow on trees.
How narrow-minded and wrong were those people! Money does grow on trees!

Here is what Tasa_M says under her photo: This coin-studded tree trunk is on a footpath at Hardcastle Crags in West Yorkshire. This is a tradition based on the saying “money doesn’t grow on trees” where people hammer coins into tree trunks for good luck. It’s also known as a Wishing Tree as each coin represents a wish, like tossing a coin into a fountain. Although the custom is said to date back to Roman times, most of these coins appear to be 2p pieces close up! Other examples can be seen in the Lake District and North Yorkshire.
how much would you say that tree is worth in today’s economy?
I would personally say that the tree is worth 324.12 dollars in today’s economy, but the tree is worth more if the coins are kept inside of it. It might even be worth more if there is wheat pennies or dimes past the year of 1964 because then they would be approximately ninety percent silver.
I hope this helped you.
It was nice hearing some responses.
Contact me back if you would like.
THANKS!!!!!!!!
