YORK, Pa. (AP) -- The Salvation Army says someone dropped a gold coin worth more than $1,000 in a collection kettle in south-central Pennsylvania. York Salvation Army Maj. Lurlene Mudge said the South African gold Krugerrand was wrapped in a $1 bill and later discovered in counting the collections. It was placed Friday in a kettle outside a Kmart store in Springettsbury Township, just outside York.

I heard this on the radio this morning. What is even more amazing is that the hard working volunteer was honest enough to turn it in!

The Salvation Army is the best charity!

They are really effective, they care, and they DON"T charge the victims for their services.

If you're looking to donate money to an organization that helps people in true need, that's the one.

This happens around the Northern Panhandle of West Virginia and around the Clarksburg- Morgantown area every Christmas. No one ever knows who it is but God Bless Them!
