Thousands of wishes can be found in the fountains at the Mall of America, but the coins that were used to make them are now being collected to benefit a good cause -- but cashing them in hasn't been easy.
Crews have certainly found some interesting items like hats and action figures in the water, but most of what they have brought back to the surface is money. Once they collect it all, it'll be donated to JDRF's 22nd Annual Walk to Cure Diabetes, which will take place on Saturday inside the mall.
The coins that the wishes were made on come in all shapes and sizes and can be traced to countries across the world -- but none of the people who cast them knew their wish would help those living with diabetes get closer to their wish for the cure.
