According to one wedding customs site, the rhyme goes "Something old, etc., ... and a silver sixpence in her shoe." (emphasis mine - JCS)

Another site has:
"Silver Sixpence
The silver sixpence is traditionally placed in the brides left shoe. The coin was originally brought into circulation during the reign of Edward VI and became part of wedding tradition since Victorian times. It was customary for the bride to be presented with a sixpence by the Lord of the Manor as a wedding gift. As time passed it became more popular for fathers to give their daughter a sixpence in the form of a dowry.

The bride or her father would place the coin in her left shoe in the hope it will bring her marriage a lifetime of wealth."
