Ever wonder what happens to it?
The TSA kept it!! Last year, the Transportation Security Administration, commonly known as the TSA, raked in over a half a million dollars in forgotten change.
So basically forgetful travelers lost $531,395.22 worth of loose change to the TSA. Law requires that the transit administration uses the money toward additional security.
