Hello, I've waited here for you.

Travelers Leave $50K at JFK, TSA Banks $400,000 in 2010 in Loose Change

 

“Travelers left behind $409,085.56 in loose change in 2010. Not only did they ditch their pennies, dimes and quarters at the checkpoints, but they also left behind foreign currency … The total numbers have been pretty consistent, although trend slightly upward. In 2008 the total was $364,000 and 2009 was $399,000.

Here are some of the numbers for the U.S.’s biggest airports:

  • John F. Kennedy International in New York - $46,918.06
  • Los Angeles International - $19,110.83
  • Hartsfield Atlanta International - $16,523.83
  • San Francisco International - $15,908.02
  • Miami International - $15,844.83”

Goddamn, travelers! You mean to tell me I can bum out at New York JFK airport, and make more than an average American’s annual salary? What the hell am I doing blogging?
