Shoppers may soon be able to make purchases using Bitcoins in an unlikely place: the thrift store.

Goodwill, a collective of nonprofits that operate several thousand stores selling secondhand items, will have the option to accept Bitcoins in some locations via payment terminals from Revel Systems Inc., a San Francisco startup. Revel is adding a Bitcoin button to its point-of-sale system, which is currently used in 23 Goodwill stores.
