Crews work to retrieve 8 million dimes that spilled onto Texas highway: report

Texas authorities were spotted on video shoveling and individually picking up $800,000 worth of dimes that spilled across a highway early Tuesday.

Officials from the Alvord Fire Department have verified to FOX 4 Dallas that a tractor-trailer carrying eight million loose dimes flipped over on U.S. Highway 287 in Wise County, Texas.

The Texas Department of Public Safety said the truck veered off the road, over-corrected and flipped, according to FOX 4.

It is unclear why the coins were not in bank rolls.

The Wise County Sheriff’s Office did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
