Not a red cent and symbols of wealth

We are fond of using old expressions for their meanings, but often we don’t know their origins. Until 2010 in Sweden, we had small pennies, the lowest amount in coin, most often made of red copper alloys. When no money is left, when they are totally broke, Swedes say, “I don’t have a red cent.” The “red carpet” is symbolically rolled out to welcome celebrities. This custom comes from a time when red-dyed fabrics were exclusive and expensive to make. Scarlet clothing was clearly expensive and a sign of wealth and power. Today, red velvet might make us think of cinemas, their stuffed red chairs and thick curtain. “Red days” in Sweden are the same as bank days in the United Kingdom. They have their origin in the early middle ages, when holy days were marked in the church calendar in red.
