Employees used luminous and vacuums worth $ 800,000 to get Dimeds flowing on the Texas highway
Talk about some serious coins.
This week, millions of coins flowed to the Texas highway after a tractor trailer that carried $ 800,000 in Dimes in the accident, the authorities said.
The leak led to the closure of the 287 southern trails in Alvord for about half a day in Alvord, as staff were on their hands and knees to pick up coins in addition to bones and shovels and large industrial vacuums.
According to the Texas Public Security Department, the tractor trailer rolled on Tuesday at 5:30 Tuesday after removing and over -adjusting. DPS said the road was reopened at around 7pm that day.
The driver and the passenger were taken to the hospital with injuries that were not life -threatening, DPS said.
Alvord is about 80 miles (130 kilometers) from Dallas.
The tractor trailer seems to be part of the Western Distribution Transportation Corporation truck, which has a department that moves to the government in armored vehicles with armed staff. The person who responded to the company's phone on Thursday said they had no comments.
The US Mint says on his website that it is the only manufacturer of legal bidding coins. The message left to the agency on Thursday was not immediately returned.
