Hello everyone
I am a lottery seller for a long time and throughout my journey, I have noticed that customers were always scratching their tickets with coins, keys or fingernails, seeing that more than half of the time, they scratched with such intensity that they broke the codes and left the ticket illegible and it was a problem for both of us, having to go to the headquarters if there was an important prize, thinking and researching, it occurred to me to look for an alternative that would not damage the ticket, and that at the same time would be a small but pleasant detail for the client, making the scratchers of various sizes and shapes until I finally found the ideal one, a little larger than 2 euro coins and a little thicker, easy to hold with two fingers and scratch without problems, since to achieve all this I printed some models that I saw on the internet and but they were not viable, that's why I chose to make them myself from scratch with the opinions and criticisms of many clients, thanks to them and the research with him time, here is the final result:

Scraper measurements.
Diameter of 28mm,
€2 coins have a diameter of 25.75
3mm thickness,
1.95mm the 2€ coins
They have been tested with very prolonged and exhaustive use and the edge does not lose effectiveness over time, and being round, the durability time is even longer.

Now let's talk about the currency symbols and why:

I was looking for good luck symbols and I found several, I decided on these 7, since they are the best known worldwide.

I have taken the descriptions of each one from the internet so that you know where it comes from:

Ladybug 

For some cultures it is believed that the presence of ladybugs is very good luck, since their symbology is based on joy, happiness and the fulfillment of dreams.

7

Luck and good fortune: in many cultures, the number 7 is considered a lucky charm, associated with prosperity and success.

Horseshoes

Since ancient Greece, horseshoes have been considered powerful amulets that protected from evil and attracted good luck. Its shape, which evokes the crescent moon, symbolized fertility and prosperity.

Four leaf clover🍀

Its meanings: “Each leaf represents one of the four basic components of happiness, which are hope, faith, love and luck. For others the four symbols they represent are: wealth, fame, love and health”.

Elephant

In many Asian cultures, the elephant is considered a sacred animal. According to Buddhist beliefs, they are celestial animals and one of Buddha's sacred treasures. They symbolize good luck, longevity and success, among other things.

Fú

The Chinese character 福 (fú) represents "good luck", "fortune" and "prosperity".

Fatima's hand

The Jamsa or Hamsa, also known as The Hand of Fatima, is a popular amulet in many cultures. It is said to protect the wearer from evil and bring good luck. The hand has been used as a symbol of strength and power for centuries. In recent years, it has become a popular fashion accessory.

As I research a little more, and my clients suggest more icons or symbols of good luck or fortune, I will add to the collection.
