I found a silver dime with a hole in it, must have been fashonable at one time.

I have a foreign one with chain still attached that I inherited (not found) which I think was 1945. I am assuming it came back from the war.
I would guess that others were chosen for significant dates like birthdays, weddings, memorials.
