I've never found pennies, but it sounds like a very lucky omen

What does that phrase 'pennies from heaven' mean anyway?

I once lived in a house and a dinosaur-like ceramic statue would move by itself around the balcony when I was home alone. Day to day it would be in a different place, and there's no way that someone could have jumped over the balcony to play tricks on me. It was inscribed with 'Pamela' on the bottom so we named it Pamela We left her there after we moved for the next people to enjoy.
