Get Your Metal Detectors to Florida! $187,000 in Nickels Scattered Across I-95
An unfortunate accident left a security guard dead and two big rig trucks totaled on Interstate 95.
It also left $187,000 in brand new nickels scattered across the ground.
One of the trucks, which apparently collided in the southbound lane on I-95 with another truck, was a U.S. Treasury truck transporting nickels from the mint in Philadelphia down to Miami. Reporters on the scene describe “some parts of this tractor-trailer are not even recognizable. It almost looks like the trailer portion was ripped in half.”
So what do you folks think the chances are of them getting every nickel up…? You guys thinkin’ what I’m thinkin’…?
