Love this pond! Spotted plenty of coins underneath the water.

Why people like to throw coins into the pond?

    Here, when people throw coin in the fountain, they make a wish :-)

    I am wondering the same thing too. Whenever there is a small little public pond, especially near places of worship, people throw coins.

    They close their eyes, and make a wish then throw the coins into the pond and then they dream on... in the end the pond's owner will be having his piggy banks full.hahahah

    People believe that their wishes would be granted if they pay a price. After uttering the wish, one would generally drop coins into the pond.
