Truck crash spills 8 million dimes next to interstate [View all]

May 10 (UPI) -- Police in Nevada said a truck hit a guard rail on a stretch of highway and overturned, spilling its load of 8 million dimes next to the road.

The Nevada Highway Patrol said the tractor-trailer struck a guardrail in the southbound lanes of Interstate 15, near Glendale, about 3:30 a.m. Tuesday.

The truck rolled onto its side next to the roadway and spilled its load of $800,000 worth of dimes.

Troopers created a secure crime scene so a recovery team could retrieve the dimes for the U.S. Treasury Department, which had contracted the truck to transport the money.
