VietNamNet Bridge – Thousands of people are flocking to Vietnam’s first university – Van Mieu (Temple of Literature) in the early of the lunar year to pray for an auspicious year. Many of them scatter small change everywhere, a kind of “pollution” at this solemn place.

A worker fishes out small change from a lake inside the temple.

He said he daily collected several baskets of small changes from the lake.

Visitors also scatter small change on the roof.
