Visitors' Coins In Rome's Trevi Fountain Provide Practical Help To Italians
Workers are showing the coins collected inside the Fountain. Typically, visitors sling a coin into the fountain (while their backs are turned to it) with hopes that they will return to Rome and find love. Almost EUR1.5 million ($1.7 million) is collected every year from the attraction and given to a Catholic charity to help the poor and homeless. (Photo by Massimo Valicchia/NurPhoto)
