Salvation Army red kettle gets golden gift
The Salvation Army says someone dropped a gold coin worth $1,400 in a red kettle in Fargo.
FARGO, N.D. (AP) — The Salvation Army says someone dropped a gold coin worth $1,400 in a red kettle in Fargo.
Salvation Army Capt. Bill Mealy told North Dakota Public Radio that a South African Krugerrand has been discovered in a red kettle each year for the past seven years.
He says this year's coin was found wrapped in a $20 bill.
Mealy says the gift gives a boost to this year's campaign but donations are down about $18,000 from last year.
