FARGO (KFGO) – The Salvation Army says when volunteer Kathy Swenson was sorting donations received in Red Kettles in Fargo last week, she found a treasure.
Someone left a 2016 Australian Gold Kangaroo 1 oz. gold coin. One side of the coin features Queen Elizabeth II and the other has a picture of a kangaroo.
The coin has a face value of $100. According to precious metals company JM Bullion, the coin could be worth up to nearly $2,900.
The Australian Kangaroo gold coins debuted in 1987.
The Salvation Army in Fargo-Moorhead set a goal to raise $900,000 for this Christmas season. So far, just over $350,000 have been raised.
