What is the name for something that has been passed down for generations through family members?
An heirloom is something that has been passed down for generations through family members. Examples are antiques or jewellery.
The term originated with the historical principle of an heirloom in English law, a chattel which by immemorial usage was regarded as annexed by inheritance to a family estate. Loom originally meant a tool. Such genuine heirlooms were almost unknown by the beginning of the twentieth century.

I got an extra coin for passing this question. Where can I spend it? What currency is it in?

I believe I got all of the answers correct, yet when it showed my final score, it showed I only got half of them correct. I think there must be a glitch in the system somewhere.

The picture shows religious monstrances that would only be seen in a church and something that would be passed down from one generation to the next in a family.

pamela h,
How is this a good question if it's too easy? This is hardly trivia. It's common knowledge.
