What happens to coins tossed in Trevi fountain
What happens to coins tossed in Trevi fountain
TLDR:
“Extracting the coins is a spectacle and involves workers from regional utility ACEA balancing on the edge of the vast Baroque fountain, using long brooms and suction hoses.
The coins are then given to Caritas, where they are dried with hairdryers and cutlery dryers and sorted and counted.
Signs around the fountain explain that the change will go to charity - a thought that pleases many of the tourists posing by the landmark.”

The Trevi Fountain is an 18th-century fountain in the Trevi district in Rome, Italy.
I also want a fountain people throw money into.
So no wishes were granted ?
You're not wrong
