Big rig spills $187k in nickels on highway

"Save your pennies" is a common refrain for anyone looking to purchase anything, but after this truck incident on Interstate 95 in Florida, it may be "swipe them nickels." Drivers may be parking on the shoulder and breaking out the metal detector after a couple of tractor trailers were involved in a crash that claimed one life and caused one of the rigs to disgorge its cargo of nickels all over the the macadam. The coinage, strewn like so much snow across the roadway, is worth about $187,000, but we doubt too much of that total will be left lying in the grass.
Wow, man...... if I was rolling by, I'll stop and get the shovel
