The Lubavitcher Rebbe was accustomed to giving out coins to his Chassidim either on his way to Daven Shacharit at 770, on the way to the Mikveh in the morning, after the Shacharit Prayers when the Rebbe would be on his way to visit the Ohel.
There would be other occasions where the rebbe would give out coins for charity such as, rallies that the were held for children, for older people , for Shluchim and other various Lubavitch organizational rallies which would be held at 770.
These rallies would be attended by the Lubavitcher Rebbe where he would give sermons and inspiration as well as give out coins to be placed into Tzedakah.
These coins was received from the Lubavitcher Rebbe on one of these occasions, as R’ Chaim Tzvi Konikov writes on the paper he folded the coins into:
"Received from the Holy Hands of his Honor and Holiness the Admo"r Shlit"a after the Rally for Children-Young men, Tiferet Zekanim Levi Yitzchak by the Mincha and Ma’ariv Prayers of the day of lighting the Fifth candle of Chanukkah (on the eve of lighting the fifth candle). On the fourth day of the week, 28th day of Kislev 5746. One dime was given to be placed into Tzedakah in addition to my own contribution, One dime was given to be put into Tzedakah in connection to the days of Chanukkah, and One dime was given as he saw fit (at his discretion) ."
