Salvation Army Worker Finds Rare Coin Donated Worth $1500

This is the time of the year when you hear the familiar sound of a bell and see a volunteer standing by a kettle hoping passers-by will donate to the Salvation Army.  Hopefully, you’ve dropped a few coins or dollars in the kettle going in or out of the stores.

The kettle campaign is crucial for the Salvation Army and since Thanksgiving was late this year the campaign was a week shorter so the donations are really needed.  One kettle volunteer in Indianapolis got a huge surprise as he was counting up the donations for the day.  He found a rare coin that had been dropped in.  It was a 1915 100 Corona Austrian coin that is valued at $1500!  The donation was very unexpected but very welcome!
