Because traditional wedding gifts are often off the mark – you give a gift that won’t be used at all or one that the couple already has – many people choose to give cash as a gift. But this is not an optimal solution either. This is because monetary gifts get lost in the shuffle, are impersonal and are considered unimaginative. A gold coin with the names and the dates, by contrast, is a gift that lets you stand out from the crowd and convey a symbolic message. Because you will be giving a gift that will endure in good times and in bad – just like a good marriage.
