Reminds me of a news story I heard a while ago where there was this guy who would drop a St. Gaudens $20 into the kettle every year.

I wouldn't mind searching those buckets. But what I really would like to get my hands into is this:

If you found something of substantial value, would you give the SA a fair share?

I wouldn't give them a fair share... I'd give them most of the share(95%)!

Wow, what a moral decision this is!

What if someone put a ASE in the bucket? Salvation army would expect you to do them a favor and give them fair market value.

The situation is similar to Habitat For Humanity homes. If the home was built for you for free, do you have the right to sell it and not give back the proceeds?

Who is to say that 95% is not their fair share?

Looks like a plexiglass container filled with pennies.

Where is it from? Don't know. I saw it on the Internet and loved the picture. I thought about making it an avatar!
