LEHIGH ACRES (FOX 13) -
A Salvation Army bell ringer in Lehigh Acres found a rare
gold coin in his kettle this weekend, and it's not the first time it's happened.
The mystery of the holiday gold coin has been ongoing for
eight years. In all those years, someone has placed a gold coin inside a Lehigh
Acres Salvation Army pot.
It always comes wrapped inside a note that says "in loving
memory of Mimi." The coin is very rare and is worth about $1,700.
Salvation Army officials say they're very thankful for
the gift each year, but still very curious, thanking the mystery donor of the "Mimi
coin."
They say they'd just like to thank them for their gift.
