Visitors to the Giant 's Causeway are urged not to jam coins into iconic rocks.

People often leave coins behind for love or luck, but they are causing damage to the rocks.

The National Trust is appealing to people to stop putting coins in the rocks before more damage is done to 60-million-year-old rocks.

A specialist stonemason has removed about 10% of the coins so far.
