That's a Lot of Change!

An excerpt from the Washington Post - (Bold is mine)

All that spare change you forget at TSA checkpoints adds up to big bucks 
By Lori Aratani

All the nickels, dimes and quarters travelers leave behind at airport security checkpoints adds up to big bucks — enough that next time you forget your change after emptying your pockets, you might want to go back for it.

In fiscal year 2016, travelers left behind a record $867,812.39, according to a report from the Transportation Security Administration. That’s over $100,000 more than went unclaimed the previous year. Of that amount, nearly $80,000 was in foreign currency.
