Catching Copper Coin
Notes: Each of these copper coins bares the name of the person that had thrown the coin into Dalaran's fountain. Most of these people are famous citizens of Azeroth. Each coin's description reveals what they were thinking at the time. These copper coins are items, and cannot be used as money. However you can sell them to a vendor for considerably more than their face value.

Commentary: If you study the history of Azeroth, you may find the wishes on these coins particularly interesting. Here are a few of my favourite wishes: "I wish that jerk Arthas would fall into a pile of magnataur doody." - Dornaa. "Pah, the fountain in Gilneas could grant ten times as many wishes as Dalaran's!" - Genn. "I wish the water in Northrend wasn't so cold, it makes me sleepy." - Murky. "I wish I'd kept that coin..." - Landro Longshot.
