Hanukkah gelt (Yiddish: חנוכה געלט‎ ḥanukah gelt; Hebrew: דמי חנוכה‎ dmei ḥanukah, both meaning literally "Hanukkah currency"), also known as gelt, refers to money given as presents during the Jewish festival of Hanukkah. It is typically given to children and sometimes teachers, often in conjunction with the game of Dreidel. In the 20th century, candy manufacturers started selling Hanukkah-themed chocolate coins wrapped in gold or silver foil, as a substitute or supplement to real money gifts.
