The origin of lucky money is short in English.

The source of lucky money is briefly as follows:

There is a couple who are old and have children. They are lovers. On the eve of Chinese New Year's Eve, they were afraid of hurting their children, so they took out eight copper coins to play with them. When the child was tired and fell asleep, they wrapped eight coppers in red paper and put them under the child's pillow. ?

The couple dare not close their eyes. In the middle of the night, a black wind opened the door and blew out the lights. As soon as he reached out to touch the child's head, a light suddenly flashed out of the pillow and made him run. It turns out that these eight copper coins were made by immortals. ?

The next day, the husband and wife told everyone how to scare them away by wrapping eight copper coins in red paper. Later, everyone learned that the child was safe. Because the homonym of "old" and "old" has gradually evolved into "lucky money". ?
