The Greeks eat Vassilopitta, a cake in which a gold coin has been baked. The cake is served in a sequence, the first piece is set aside for St. Basil, a founder of the Greek Church, the second for the home, and the remaining is distributed amongst family members, from oldest to youngest. Whoever finds the coin in their serving of cake will have a lucky year.
* According to Greek tradition you should cut a hole in the bottom of the cake (while cooling it) and add a foil-wrapped coin in the hole. Slice cake and serve, ensuring everyone knows there is a coin in one piece so that they don't bite on it.
