Who’s Taking All the Coins From Palais-Royal’s Wishing Well?
Two men use magnets attached to strings to fish out coins from a wishing well.
A bizarre clip has emerged from Paris, France of two men using magnets attached to strings to fish coins from a wishing well.
In the video, which was captured at the Palais-Royal in Paris on 19 September, a group of tourists looks on in amusement as the men attempt to scoop out the coins.
"They were making good money," the filmer wrote online.
According to the filmer, the men may not have been doing anything illegal because, although many tourists treat the pool as a wishing well, it is in fact a drain, which has been opened up as an architectural feature.
