I have done that before but not every time I walk by one. I don't really believe they bring good luck though.

I have always believed in an element of luck, and once in a while have dropped a penny into a wishing well. I have many wishes but very few will ever come true though.

Yes, sometimes I do that. I toss a penny in a fountain after making a wish. I know it sound childish... but who can say if my wish would come true, right?
Some say that it is good luck and I wont say that it is true. Maybe yes... I believe if your heart really desires it then there would be a possibility that it would come true.

No,it does not sound childish at all,i do it.Its fun to do it and you never do know if just someday what you wished for does come true and you would never know if you had never of tossed a coin in there.

Hi peanutjar!
When I was a kid I would throw change into a fountain all the time and wish for something. They never came true from what I can remember, and I eventually outgrew it I guess.

Not pennies? Noooooo! I save pennies actually. But I do toss
other coins and make wishes. None ever come true. What a waste
of money. Grrr!! I cash the pennies to go to the casino every
other month or so. Usually about $50. My wife is a waitress so
we get a lot of change in the household.
HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

Hello!Your back!hehe.Thats one good way instead of throwing them,you can try and win actaully something with them.I was once a waitress before my daughter was born,i couldnt wait to cash the change for some bills,hehehe.Now we have a jar,actually a "peanutjar"hint,hint,that we keep our pennies in for our daughter,when she wants something its her to take.:)

Sometimes but not always. If I run across a fountain which keeps a lot of coins in it, I will toss some coins too. But I will not do the same to any fountain without a coin. I believe eventhough it will not function immediately, it do work one day in my life. :D
