Nickels All Over The Highway
A truck carrying 5 Cent Coins worth $187,000, crashed on Tuesday killing one person and scattering the nickels all over the Florida Highway. The coins were totally scattered all over, and the place looked really shiny.
"It's shiny across the roadway", said a police official. "There are nickels in the grass, across the interstate." The truck loaded with the coins, was on the way to the US Treasury in Miami, from where they were to be distributed among the Banks in Florida.
The accident took place when the first truck rear-ended the other forcing the first truck to run-off the road and the second to over turn. This caused the spillway. Coins were totally scattered on the road.
A passenger in the truck carrying the nickels which had overturned, was killed, but the drivers survived and were in Stable Condition, the hospitals reported.
The secret service and US Treasury were on the scene trying to decide how to pick the coins up and also to make sure that nobody touches any of the nickels. All the nickels are scattered around and are in the grass too. The authorities would be taking measures as not to miss a single nickel.
