Iceland Unveiled: 30 Mind-Blowing Facts That Will Make You Want to Pack Your Bags and Go!

The Springs Are Not For Coin-tossing

Iceland may be a popular tourist destination, welcoming over two million visitors each year, but there are certain rules that must be followed upon arrival. One such rule pertains to those who believe in the magical powers of springs, thinking that throwing coins into them will grant their wishes.

Sadly, this is not the case, and it has become a bit of a problem for the Environment Agency of Iceland. For years, visitors to the Geysir geothermal area have been throwing coins into the geyser Blési, prompting ranger Lárus Kjartansson to consider installing more prominent signs to deter this behavior. So, please respect Iceland’s natural wonders and leave the coin-tossing for another time and place.
