Trevi Fountain

It was only recently that the city of Rome began to collect the money tossed into the Trevi Fountain on a daily basis - and only after it was learned that a homeless man was regularly stealing the stash from the water using a magnetized pole.  All Italian coins and euros end up in the coffers of the town council (most recently, they were used to subsidize a food bank); foreign currency is donated to the Red Cross.
