The Coin Has Arrived

In an ritual repeated every year at Christmas, someone has dropped a gold coin into a Salvation Army Kettle.

Indeed, so likely is a news story to be written in such cases, that it would not surprise me to hear that Salvation Army employees are the ones dropping the coins so as to guarantee free publicity in newspapers all around the US.

Rather a cynical take on what might be a genuine charitable impulse, but I'm a rather cynical sort of guy.
