TSA gets to keep $675,000 change left behind by air travelers
All the quarters, dimes and other coins forgotten by busy travelers at airport security checkpoints last year added up to a big chunk of change for the federal government.
Airline passengers left behind nearly $675,000 in loose change last year, according to the Transportation Security Administration’s 2014 fiscal year report released Monday. While that’s only a modest jump from last year’s haul of $638,143, it’s a whopping 76% more than the $383,414 collected in 2008.
