[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] An anonymous donor quietly left 10,000 coins, including 100-won coins, at the Sangbong 2-dong Community Service Center in Jungnang-gu (Mayor Ryu Gyeong-gi), warming the hearts of those around.

On the morning of the 14th, an employee opening the community center door found six plastic bags full of coins at the back door. Inside the bags were a total of 9,524 coins worth about 1 million won, including 59 coins of 500 won and 8,981 coins of 100 won.

Checking the CCTV revealed that around 11 p.m. the previous night on the 13th, a resident on a delivery motorcycle was seen dropping off the plastic bags filled with coins and leaving.

The district is looking for the anonymous donor who performed this warm act of kindness, and this story is quietly touching the residents.

Local residents who heard about the anonymous coin donation said in unison, "The fact that the coins were donated divided into several plastic bags suggests that the donor may not be very wealthy, making this quiet sharing even more touching."

They also said, "Seeing the 10,000 coins collected over a long time shows a heart that cares for neighbors who are less fortunate, making it even more meaningful ahead of the Chuseok holiday."

Ryu Gyeong-gi, Mayor of Jungnang-gu, stated, "I express deep gratitude and respect to the anonymous donor who willingly practiced love for neighbors without revealing themselves. During these difficult times due to COVID-19, sharing such warm affection and enduring together will surely bring an end to the pandemic soon. We will use the coins meaningfully to help neighbors in need in the community, honoring the precious intention of the donor."
