Travelers lost $531,395.22 worth of loose change to the TSA this year, setting a new record.

When passengers leave change in plastic bins before going through security, the TSA (Transportation Security Administration) is allowed to keep the profits. Federal law requires them to report the earnings to Congress and use the money toward additional security.

The airports that collected the most loose change were Miami and Las Vegas.
