The carrots in this recipe are cut into coins and marinated in a dressing that gives them them the appearance of burnished pennies; hence the name. Southern brides often carry a penny from the year they were born to help ensure a prosperous marriage and good luck.
The mixture needs to marinate for 12 hours in the refrigerator.
