What happens to the change people throw in wishing wells and fountains?
There are a few different places the money can end up. In the most noble cases, the change is donated to a charity. For example, the fountains in the Mall of America collect roughly $24,000 a year, and that money is donated to several different worthy causes. In other, more practical cases, the money goes toward the cleaning and maintenance of the fountain.
Finally, the far too common alternative is for the change to go back into the pockets of citizens. Maeri Ferguson from the New York City Parks and Recreation Department’s press office told The Atlantic, “[Fountains] are cleaned regularly by Parks staff (every few weeks) but we consistently find that most of the coins have already been removed by entrepreneurial New Yorkers and there is not a significant amount left to be collected.”

Difference between superstition and old beliefs?
Scientific beliefs are repeatable and testable. Simply, you are told not to mix household cleaning agents, but you do, and you pass out. After recovering, and you repeat the process, and you pass out again. The danger of mixing household cleaning agents is based on repeatable scientific experiments. When you believe such things you hold a scientific belief.
Note: In science, the present "fact" is for now the best explanation, until a repeatable experiment proves different. With superstitions, the beliefs hold forever and forever with no need to prove it.
................................................
re. Superstition and "Old Beliefs," a superstition is generally foolish and irrational, passed along without questioning the sense of it. The fear of black cats crossing one's path is a good example of a superstition.
On the other hand, old beliefs may be part of an old religion that has been superseded by a newer religion. In their old religions, Greeks and Romans worshiped many gods. Those "old beliefs" were replaced by Christianity.
In yet another sense, an "old belief" could be something that was commonly thought to be true, that has since been proved false. For example, the idea that the common cold is caused by getting wet feet is an old belief that people no longer believe, since science has shown that the common cold is caused by a virus.
When and where superstition was begin and spread?
it depends what the superstition is, superstition itself is a feeling, something of the mind.
