Looks like it happens all the time.

"The Salvation Army staff were delighted to find the coin and to learn that the giving tradition, which began in 1998, had continued," a spokesperson for the Salvation Army said in a news release. "The nearly annual mysterious donation is dropped in a local Red Kettle during the weeks leading up to Christmas."

"Rare" doesn't seem like quite the right word.

Yeah, journalism ain't what it used to be. "Valuable" would have been a better choice.

It ain't rare if you can walk into any coin shop in America and buy one.
