Coins in kettles worth their weight CHICAGO
anonymous donors dropped three gold coins into Salvation Army kettles last week continuing a tradition since 1982. Two $50 U.S. coins were found on Michigan Avenue and a gold sovereign in DeKalb. Each 1-ounce coin is worth about $290. A donor appears to have started the yearly gift, which has continued with gaps in 1987 and 1988.
