Generous donation or absent minded mistake, or maybe the spirit of an old mariner walking the streets of Durham looking to make peace with himself?

I have heard stories from America of donation buckets containing gold coins from anonymous donors, it would be nice to think British philanthropy is also alive and well.

Some anonymous donor in Chicago, places $20 gold pieces in the Salvation Army Christmas (Bell Ringer) buckets every year. The Salvation Army is so use to that happening, that they have a large coin dealer, in the area, that quickly turns the double eagles into cash for them! :)
