Gelt is the Yiddish word for coins. It is a tradition for Jewish parents to give their children money, and some chocolate companies thought that it would be a good idea to make chocolate coins. These "gelt" became a hit in many places, and they still are today.
Some families like to gamble using gelt instead of money, and playing with a dreydle.
