Today I tossed some Bitcoin, about a quarter ($.25 USD), into a fountain.
https://blockchain.info/address/18eDvMe7cG643TwU8GqNrnAW3GLsJEQZBu
https://www.google.com/search?q=34.177743%2C-118.317097
Latitude: 34.177743
Longitude: -118.317097
There is a placard by the fountain. Below the date there is a sentence with 16 words. Take the first letter of each word (they are capitalized) and use that string of 16 characters as the passphrase to generate a Bitcoin address at

Grab the coin and have a nice day!
****
UPDATE 02.22.13: The fountain now holds
.109
over .3 BTC !!!!
****
UPDATE 02.23.13 PM: It looks like someone figured it out.... and decided to have a run at Satoshi Dice with it. (I don't think it ended up well, but see for yourself:

Until next time...

So, maybe the stakes aren't high enough?
If anyone else wants to flip a quarter into the fountain, go ahead...

You don't have to get wet to claim these coins.

This is such a great idea. Now I'm going to look at plaques around the world and think about the possibility of bitcoins hiding in them.
I wonder how big the fountain will go?
Everyone make a wish and toss in a bitcent!

Up to .3 BTC!
Then it looks like the lucky person was trying to bump it up with S.Dice... not so lucky there.
Whoever found it should post!
