This photo was taken at one of the fountains at Rockefeller Center. It seems like people were tossing coins into the fountain hoping their wishes would be granted. I tossed some Italian liras into the Trevi Fountain when I was a 10-year old boy. My wish was to visit Rome again in the future. So far, the wish hasn't come true yet.So have you ever tossed a coin into a fountain and made a wish?

Rome is just a short swim away. Go!
j'avais jamais remarque cela dans la fontaine du Rockfeller center, c'est peut être comme cela que Rockfeller a fait sa fortune ;o)
I had never noticed that the fountain in Rockefeller center, it may be the way that Rockefeller made his fortune ;o)
I tossed some coins in the Fontana di Trevi in Rome too, in 1993. I didn't return yet either ... but I'm closer than you are!
Nice picture!
Tossing a string of flowers in the ocean off Hawaii is supposed to bring you back there too. I did it once and went back 5 times but after that it didn't work.
I saw a guy on Cops get arrested twice (the same night) for stealing coins from fountains in Las Vegas.
Do these coins go to a charity?
No I haven't actully! But I would when I go to Rome, if I ever go to Rome.
I was watching tv today and they were talking about the US version of Deal or No Deal! Its a bit more glam than ours!!! Hope you are well Ming and the sun is shining in New York! Love Missy x
me too, me too.
i tossed coin in trevi in 1994 and it hasn't come true yet :(
Yeah, when I was little.
Your wish may not have come true yet, but your story's not over yet either! I tossed a coin in a shopping mall fountain once, but it doesn't have the same cache. : )
Great texture!
Well, I did toss a coin somewhere (I couldn't remember when) but yea that wish I made didn't come true.. or maybe it hasn't come true just yet?
we'll see :)
Oh my god! But I also heard that Sam was gonna die and they always say something like that! I also heard one of the girls had a secret child when she was 17, and the CarrieandBig wedding is a dream.
These are my guesses on the movie
Big has a heart attack the day of the wedding and Sam and Smith get married.
But not long to go now!!!!! Can not wait!Even the fella is excited!
I don't think I ever did, but now that you mentioned it, I will.
Oliver is pretty funny! I love this shot with the reflections and pennies...lovely.
LOL! Don't worry you'll make it to Italy.

I have tossed quite a few coins in fountains. I dont even remember what I wished for.
What i know is that is such a pain to cleanup and cost a fortune - dixit people working at the Metropolitan.
haha.. i thought it was tiny fishes when i scrolled the page. then i realize they are copper coins. :-)
nope, i don't remember throwing any coins.
I toss coins into any fountain I come across.
Beautiful pics Ming! I threw coins in the Trevi Fountain, and returned about 18 years later! Keep trying!
@AbeLincoln: I am not sure about the coins in Rockafeller Center, but the ones in Trevi Fountain are donated to Caritas International Relief Agency, based in Rome.
