Salvation Army officials in Las Vegas were shocked to find a gold coin weighing one ounce among the dollar bills and change in one of the charity’s Red Kettles.

Barnes called it an incredible anonymous donation.
The face value of the solid gold coin is $50 Canadian, or about $39 in U.S. dollars. But the market value of the metal varies day-to-day and is much greater.
