Any Sherdoggers need a Dime?

[Rhood]

An avalanche of 8 million freshly minted dimes spilled from an overturned truck and closed a Texas highway for almost 14 hours.

Witnesses described a sea of silver on US Route 287 in Alvord, 50 miles north of Fort Worth. Clean-up crews attempted to suck up the coins, worth $800,000, using vacuums more commonly used to unclog sewers and drains.

Officials said the truck involved in the accident was an 18-wheeler from the Colorado-based Western Distributing Transportation Corporation, whose operations feature a fleet of armored vehicles that ferry currency and other valuable cargo for clients including the US government.

10,000,000 dimes equals 1,000,000 million dollars

I just witnessed an old lady turn a corner and immediately spot and pick up two dimes on the ground. I haven't really picked up coins on the ground in ages even though I carry handsanitizer.

I picture someone jumping out of their car and filling their pockets which will probably get you a theft of gov't property charge for what amounts to $30. .

Joey Coyle was an interesting story when he found the million dollars and might've gotten away with it if wasn't such a dummy.

So far this year I've found $4.32 in change just lying on the ground, in coin machine reject trays, or left in the change dispenser at self checkouts.

I keep track.
