  I've always loved reading about these type of stories around the holidays.

  I remember reading that he was either A.) going to do that, or B.) had done that before. This was a couple months ago.
  
  Very cool and nice work.

  Clever of that coin dealer. The value of the coins was small compared to the publicity and advertising he got.

  I like reading of these each year. When I lived in Seattle (20 years), there would be one gold coin (usually an American gold eagle) put in a Salvation Army kettle each year - always anonymously. I do not know if it continues now... Cheers, RickO

  That's beautiful.
  
  On a funny side of this, a fellow competitor and merchant said he likes dropping coins into the bucket, but twice this year the attendant Bell Ringers were not ringing the bell. I asked him why. He said, "well Joe, I suppose it would have been too noisy since they were sitting on a chair on their cell phones"
  
  I had to laugh sorry
