CANTON TOWNSHIP, Mich. (CBS DETROIT) – The Salvation Army says a rare Krugerrand coin was dropped into a red kettle in Canton Township over the weekend.
The Salvation Army says a donor has given away his last Krugerrand coin and urged others with coins to donate. One donor answered that call and gave away his coin on December 7 in a cauldron at Hobby Lobby, located at 42643 Ford Road. Three other golf coins, with an estimated value of $1,721, were dropped into a cauldron in Farmington Hills, according to a news release.
“These generous donations will help The Salvation Army in its efforts to raise $7 million for its Red Kettle Christmas Campaign, which funds critical human services throughout the year,” The Salvation Army said in the news release.
An anonymous donor in 2023 donated a gold coin estimated to be worth $2,000 in a cauldron in St. Clair Shores.
