Definição

• A sum of money allowed or settled on a wife or other lady for her private and personal expenses. In the fourteenth century, long after the inven- tion of pins, the makers were allowed to sell them only on certain days. It was then that the women gathered there to buy them. When pins became cheap and com- mon, they spent their allowances on other fancies, hut the expression pin money remained.
