This is a "Wishing Well Coin Race" funnel in a Mall. Dropped coins roll around on their sides, before they disappear into the bin. As the coins get closer toward the center hole they start to circle horizontally at high speed creating virtual rings at the bottom of the funnel. My submission for the Theme Thursday challenge: Ring.
