A mysterious motorcyclist dubbed a "guardian angel" has been leaving gold and silver coins at churches and schools across England, with donations estimated to total as much as £100,000. The anonymous benefactor is reported to have said he simply wanted to "do some good," and his identity remains unknown to the recipients of his gifts.

Details of exactly how many institutions have received the coins, and over what period, were not available in the material provided beyond the headline description. The story has drawn attention as an unusual act of anonymous charity, with churches and schools apparently the specific target of his generosity.
