OMAHA, Neb.—The Omaha Salvation Army has another gold Krugerrand to polish and convert into American cash.
Spokeswoman Susan Eustice says the one-ounce South African coin was dropped into a red donation kettle on Wednesday. It was valued at $840.
On Monday, a quarter-ounce Krugerrand turned up in a kettle outside a Kmart in northwest Omaha. That one was valued at about $250. The dollar equivalents change with the price of gold at any given moment in market trading.
Eustice says a note attached to the latest Krugerrand says it was given by a “copycat donor,” who also said, in rhyme — quote — “This one makes two … hope it brings still more to you.”
