A gold coin similar to this one found its way into a Salvation Army kettle.

As Christmas fast approaches, the Salvation Army is coming out in force, asking passerby to donate their pocket change to help the needy this holiday season. A penny here, a nickel there, a quarter every so often all help, but one donation topped them all. In Watsonville an anonymous donor dropped a Canadian gold dollar into the collection kettle.

With statewide donations down 4.5 percent, the single sparkly coin could buy a lot of Christmas cheer this year. Read more at Fox 35.
