Mystery Woman Donates Rare Bill Worth $62K to Help Youth

Mystery Woman Donates Rare Bill Worth $62K to Help Youth
This five pound note – which was actually worth $62,000 – was anonymously donated by a woman from Northern Ireland who wanted to help children in need.

An unidentified woman from Northern Ireland accidentally found a five pound note that was actually worth a fortune. But the lucky anonymous woman didn't keep it – she gave it to charity instead.

When the woman from County Donegal found it in County Fermanagh, she contacted the gallery that it originated from – The Tony Huggins-Haig Gallery in Kelso, Scotland – to announce that she had found the $62,000 prize. Once the bill was verified to contain the special portrait, the woman took a few weeks to "mull over" what she would do with it.

The gallery then received a letter with the special bill enclosed along with a note from the woman reading: "£5 note enclosed, I don't need it at my time of life. Please use it to help young people."

The currency will be auctioned off to help the Children In Need charity.
