WASHINGTON, Jan. 12 (UPI) -- Airline passengers left nearly $400,000 in pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters at American airport checkpoints, USA Today reported Thursday.
According to the Transportation Security Administration, $409,085.56 in coins, including foreign currency, was recovered at security points in 2010, after travelers forgot, or chose not, to pocket them.
In an increasing cashless society coins can be regarded as an annoyance, and passengers en route to foreign destination may feel no use for American change.
