What is more amazing to me is that the person counting the money doesn't pocket the coin while nobody is looking.
We have had something similar in Northern Indiana, except that the person drops in a gold US coin from the 1920s or so. It is a noble thing to do, but it pains me to think of the disgusting nickels and pennies being dropped on top of the gold coin and putting marks on it.
I hear what you’re saying. But then, what does it say about us as a society when someone exhibits integrity? We’re amazed they didn’t steal from the poor? Surely, if one believes there is a heaven & hel*, stealing from the poor will ensure ones internment in the later. Or, if you don't believe, man's law just may put you away for awhile.
