Wishing Trees

When you go to the mall and throw coins in a fountain for good luck, good luck doesn't come to you and its just a fake pointless thing that makes charity's money. you wish to win the lottery 10 times and nothing happens and then you wish to find a penny on the ground and you find one the next day, not because you wished for it but because of the probability of finding one in a certain amount of time.

With that tree it is different though, me looking for old ones on it to take and put another coin in its spot with would be like doing that at a church or some religious fountain or something with "offerings" in it.

With fountains at malls people don't specifically pick a certain coin of there's to throw in and wish for whatever, They just take one from there purse wallet or pocket and it is completely random. But at that tree it looks like the kind of thing people would actually pick a "special" coin of there's and hammer it in.

If your "coin of choice" for hammering into that tree was a EF1916 "D" merc dime I would phone the coin police just like if someone purposely put it in a fountain when they could have just given it to the charity in person and saved its condition and value.

Interesting. Poor coins. Poor tree.
