Close an interstate for a half hour for a $1000 spill. Sounds about right. Thanks for the post!!!

Employees from Loomis sweep up and pick up pennies on the northbound leg of U.S. 75 after one of their armored cars lost some 40 boxes of coins, each worth $25, after the boxes fell out the vehicle when a door opened due to a sharp turn just north of the Red Fork split on the highway in Tulsa.

An armored vehicle took a turn on U.S. 75 too sharply Friday afternoon and dropped hundreds of pennies onto the highway.

About 40 boxes of pennies -- each worth $25 -- fell onto the northbound lanes in the 3500 block of U.S. 75, authorities said.

The highway was closed for about 30 minutes for cleanup.

Holy smokes! There's my answer!

I had a string box recently that had way too many bent up coppers in there. I mean like they were thrown from a truck. Good thing they never met Mr. Ryedale because it would have been jam freakin' city all night.

I bet I had at least 1 bent up or maybe I should say dinged up in every roll. Some rolls had 5 or 6 of them. The diameters were all beat to heck! I was thinking about something like this. NICE.....!


Wait....I see a couple of enders!!!!!
