Contrary to popular belief, the Queen does carry money. Each Sunday when she attends church service, she places a banknote of undisclosed denomination into the collection plate. There is an old superstition that to give a gift of a knife will cut the tie of friendship - therefore the Queen always offers a coin in exchange of such a gift. The Queen carries a handbag which contains a handkerchief, a gold mirrored compact, a comb and a lipstick. She never keeps the posies and flowers she is presented with, instead they are distributed to local hospitals.
