A Scottish charity was shocked to discover a solid gold coin worth £1,462, or about $1,835, in its charity collection can — making it the most it has ever raised from a single can, it says.

Scotland's Charity Air Ambulance (SCAA) said in a post on its website that it found a 2015 gold American Buffalo $50 coin after it had been discarded into a pile of foreign currency by its coin-counting machine.
