We have always heard the saying that money doesn’t grow on trees, but I would be willing to take a guess and say that they never saw these trees before. If you look closely at these trunks you will notice that they look a little strange. Well, that’s because they are not your normal tree trunks.
Thousands of people from all over the UK have been working together to create what they call “wishing trees,” by simply getting rid of their spare change. Maybe they should start one of these traditions in the U.S.?
Probably would get robbed anyway, but check these out!
Even though they are wishing trees lets just call them money trees.
There are literally thousands of coins hammered into the bark.

People that pass by will simply see a money tree, pull out their spare change and wedge it into the tree.

After a while, it creates a stunning effect.
The older trees are littered with dreams and wishes of many strangers.

Most of the money trees are located near Cumbria and Portmeirion, which are all within the UK.

According to BBC, in the 1700s, the Scottish would sometimes hammer florins into trees as a type of offering, wishing that their sickness would go away.

Nobody knows if that actually worked but the tradition surely stayed around.
