One of the easiest ways that I earn a little extra money is that I go to the fountains around town and take the money that people have tossed into them to make wishes. There really isn't much too it if you are willing to get your feet a little wet.

There are some fountains where the money in them is collected for various non profit organizations. I don't take money from these, but it seems that if there is a pool of water, people are willing to throw coins into it.

The amount I make really depends. There seems to be seasons. I always find more money around Christmas time and Valentine's day. Most days I only make a few dollars, but I have made over $50 on occasion doing this. When ever I travel, I am always on the lookout for spots where people might toss coins for wishes.
