Staff at a British Heart Foundation (BHF) charity shop receive an anonymous donation of 160 rare banknotes, leaving them surprised, according to multiple reports. The donation is taken in by the Edinburgh store and later put up for sale.
Outlets report that the collection of banknotes fetches about £85,000 at auction. The Herald Scotland says the final total is £85,860, while other sources describe the result as selling for more than £85,000. All accounts link the funds to the BHF, a charity that uses donations to support lifesaving research. While coverage focuses on the shock experienced by shop staff at receiving the notes, the key shared detail is the significant sum raised after the anonymous donation is auctioned.
