Oh no what a surprise. Some people don't dare to take it all because they suspect being filmed and just have some fun with it. And others don't give a f**k as they are not really stealing anything and just take it all. #notreallysurprised. If people would start dropping their small change too and it would become a huge pile. That would be surprising.

Perhaps I would take a coin shower.... like Scrooge McDuck! A childhood dream :-)

Yep, Avarice finally shows it's Ugly Head.

They should have also filmed the bank tellers reaction when they asked for £300 in 2p coins ^_^

I'd probably remove the pennies from my pocket and drop them on the pile.

I'd add to it.

I'd stop by, observing from my current distance at the given moment, and be all like "Uhm? What's that? Eheh, wow, weird!" And leave with a smile.

I would play play play!

I would have taken a photo worthy of Instagram then given some of my coins to the pile

I would play in it like a sandbox too lol

I'd throw one over my shoulder into the canal and make a wish.

I would to take some photos with my golden dog :D And in second dream- I would to make a golden fishes picture with all these coins <3 Absolutely fantastic idea with this experiment, but I expected, that people will toss their own money there, for making this golden mountain bigger! Unfortunetely - not :P

I would have Made a piece of art work right there out of it for all to enjoy...I like this experiment...not impressed with the guys at the end taking it all...selfish society we live in !

Build a castle like those usually built in a beach ;)

someone posted a clickbait on boredpanda, the amount of people falling for it will surprise you

I would take one coin, make a wish and throw it into the canal. 😉

Step on it or lay on it

I wouldn't take anything. I'd want to of course but I wouldn't, I'd feel too bad. I know it would be a social experiment of some kind.

I'd lean against the rail and watch the fun and maybe make some takers uncomfortable.

This reminds me of the short CGI film: '"The Wishgranter", which one can view on You-Tube.

I would lay on them and take a selfie. And pour some coin on me :)

I would throw them all over my head like that one guy did

I think that the diverse reactions indicate the diverse sample of 'homo sapiens' we live among (including those who ended the fun 4 everyone!)

The guy in the last photo is the guy in the first photo, same clothes, brought back a friend, detestable cretin.

Abject waste of time...and money.

Surprised the government didn't show up to tax it... Oh wait, maybe that's who the two guys were.

who were the two idiots?

I would look for a leprechaun!

Sit somewhere and watch

I would probably sit and make a penny Castle and walls and some buildings , maybe I would make a path of coins to a village. I would Play!

Not rlly surprised

Definitly the rain!!!!

I'd take one for luck , &, hope the rest would be picked up by children. Can you imagine their excitement in scooping up these coins?

I'd probably add to the pile and then make it rain like tht guy did

A pathetic way to advertise your tawdry and increasingly socially inept enterprise. I work in the media. I would never use your 'facility' I'd rather sleep on a park bench,
