Don T Take Wooden Nickels 't ake Any By Mindy Starns Clark

Don't take any wooden nickels protect yourself (against fraud, loss, and so on). This warning against counterfeit coins dates from about 1900 and is distinctly american in origin, the nickel being a u.s.

It is likely that the phrase is linked to the phenomenon of “wooden nutmeg” which was also a popular method of fraud in the 1820’s. The colloquialism, “don’t take any wooden nickels” originates from the 19 th century, when a nickel had a significant value and was worth the time and effort of replicating with wood and paint.
