The money was being collected for the Salvation Army’s annual Red Kettle Campaign but this surprise has taken the area by storm, as locals are trying to figure out who dropped it in the bucket.

Ready, set, crawl

Salvation Army volunteers in Vermont found a gold coin worth more than $2,000 wrapped in a $5 bill during their annual Red Kettle campaign.

The gold coin was anonymously donated after being taped carefully to the back of a $5 bill dropped in a Red Kettle.

These anonymous donations are popping up all across the U.S.

Coins and dollars are dropped into the buckets every year, but sometimes a surprise awaits.
