Bar donates patron stapled dollars to Hurricane Dorian relief

The staff at Siesta Key Oyster Bar in Florida recently donated more than ten thousand dollars to Hurricane Dorian relief in the Bahamas. The money came from dollar bills patrons stapled on the restaurant walls over the years.

CNN reported that it took the staff the whole September to finally take down, flattern and clean all the bills. The local bank excluded some damaged bills and counted the sum to $13,961.
