Did anyone see all those coins.......

on the Interstate in New Jersey, on the news this morning ? I just caught the tail end of it as I was headed out the door. They showed people walking around in all these coins in the dark after a wreck of what I understood was a truck load. image

    An armored car flipped over & the rear doors opened. Cash & coin all over the NJ Turnpike.

    Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.

  • It could only happen in New Jersey!

    Rumors have surfaced that there are over 1 million "rare" modern "FS", "FBL", MS70 coins lying out there along the freeway. After lying alongside the road for a while, most of them will "monster tone" into "blinding rainbow" colors. Soon, you will see them being offered on EBAY, with frenzied bidding by "knowledgeable" numismatists who expect to double their money within days.image

    Why I can't ever be around when that sort of thing happens and all the cops are on vacation...? image

    You must be from the west. The NJ Tpk is far from a FREEway image

    Fortunately they've struck a deal with PCI to encapsulate all the coins with a "Turnpike Horde" identifier.

    Hell, I don't need to exercise.....I get enough just pushing my luck.
  • I would have expected something like this happening in New Jersey, would have involved one of those crazy "circles" like you have to negotiate on U.S. 40.image
