Sheldon Greenland, commanding officer of the Salvation Army of Monongalia, Marion, and Preston counties, spent his Christmas weekend off the computer and without his phone in hand. He did not realize there were questions about the annual donation of a $1,000 bill the Salvation Army has received every year since 1978.

Greenland, who has been in charge of the local organization since 2018, called WV News within 15 minutes of an article going online Tuesday morning showing that the $1,000 bill donated last week has the same serial number and unique markings as last year's donation.

Greenland said.

A WV News review of the bills in photos from 2020 and 2021 shows each bill has the same serial number and is from District 4. Each bill is creased in the same places, and there also appeared to be small marks - perhaps ink marks - on the upper right and upper left corners of the bills.

A reader first brought the matter to the attention of WV News.

Greenland said.

Greenland said nobody had ever mentioned this to him before, and he had never noticed it was the same $1,000 bill. Coverage from WBOY-TV in 2016 shows the $1,000 bill from five years ago has the same serial number as well.

Greenland said.
