Speaker 3 (02:46):
I didn't realize it would be possible to have this
much money on the road at once.

Let's go to NBC five for more.
Speaker 5 (02:52):
There was a massive recovery effort on a Wise County
highway today. Crew spent hours recovery bring tens of thousands
of dollars worth of dimes on us to eighty seven.
The money spilled onto the roadway after an eighteen wheeler
rolled over. Candace sweat Is in Alvert and shows us
the pain's taking process to pick up every last coin.
Speaker 6 (03:16):
It took some fourteen hours to reopen the southbound lanes.
Speaker 3 (03:19):

many dimes, how much money do you think it was?
Speaker 4 (03:24):
Has anyone? Does anyone know the total? Would? You guys?
Die down?
Speaker 2 (03:26):
But I'm happy to guess.
Speaker 4 (03:28):
Fourteen hours to get all the dimes? Yeah, I think
I know. I have to accuse myself.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
I know, okay, Oh you already know it, Ben, Okay,
since I'm the only one naive to the story. I
will say, twenty seven thousand dollars worth of dimes.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
Twenty seven thousand dollars worth of dimes in fourteen hours.
Now ten dimes is one dollar, is that right?
Speaker 4 (03:51):
Yeah?

dude for this fourteen hour operation.

Speaker 1 (04:16):
It's not like they just went one dime at a
time in the back of an eighteen wheeler.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
But as soon as it hit the ground, it exploded.
Now I don't know about that. I made that part up.
Speaker 6 (04:24):
Southbound lanes of US two eighty seven, And that's because
the people responsible for picking up some eight hundred thousand
dimes wanted to make sure as many as possible were
accounted for.

eighty thousand dollars.

heard being sucked up into a high powered machine and
into the back of a truck. Before that, workers were
even seen on their hands and knees searching for the
lost coins. An eighteen wheeler hauling the coin rolled over.
