A gold coin dropped into a Salvation Army donation kettle in Lynnwood last week continues to inspire giving.

Ed Wallace Sr., co-owner of Destination Harley-Davidson in Tacoma, said he will drive to Everett today to give the Snohomish County Salvation Army $1,000 for the coin. It is valued at more than $500.

Wallace heard reports of the anonymous donation of the coin Sunday evening and called the Salvation Army on Monday. “I thought it was nice whoever did so, in the manner that they did,” he said. “If we can complement that, we would love to do so.”
