Visitors' Coins In Rome's Trevi Fountain Provide Practical Help To Italians

Visitors are typically tossing a coin into the Trevi Fountain with their backs turned to it, hoping that they will return to Rome and find love. Nearly EUR1.5 million ($1.7 million) is being collected annually from the attraction and is being given to a Catholic charity to assist the poor and homeless. (Photo by Massimo Valicchia/NurPhoto)
