An estimated $4,000 is thrown into the Trevi Fountain in Rome each day.

The money is collected every night and given to a charity. The charity will offer free food items for the needy at a supermarket.

Four fountain cleaners were arrested after being caught pocketing the money they found there. One guy, nicknamed d'Artagnan, has been banned from the fountain after fishing for coins from it for 34 years.

Kind of reminds of this really old Tom Green sketch:
