I was at the Trevi Fountain last summer, I saw people doing this and throwing the coin in other random ways. I wonder, with the number of tourists that place gets, what happens to the coins? Does somebody collect them? If not then it must have been overflowing with coins by now, no?

the article says:

While there are regularly attempts to steal the coins from the bottom of the fountain, you may be pleased to know that the coins are collected every night and the funds have been used to fund a supermarket that serves the poor of Rome, the Italian Red Cross, as well as other local charities. And we’re not talking chump change, either – workers routinely pull roughly €3,000 per day out of the Trevi!
