I just read that.........ouch....not good at all....
Also, $184,000 x 20 = 3,640,000 nickles [sic]. A little more than nearly 3 million.
Reporters can be so stupid, and so can their editors.

To bad about the guard
<< <i>Whoa! One guard killed another seriously injured and the headline makes it seems like a light story. Now bracing myself for full page newspaper ads selling nickels from the "I-95 Death Coin Hoard."

CNN's Robin Meade said, "3 million dollars in nickels, I mean 3 million of them which is a lot more than 3 million dollars."

She was talking about the melt value.
<< <i>This sort of reminds me of the wagon of 1907-D Dimes that tipped over in Colorado. I don't know what mintmark these Nickels bore but it looks like it will be hard to find high grade nickels from 2008 now. >>
Are you kidding? 3 million is a drop in the bucket compared to the total mintage for this date/MM.

But I notice the article says..."The U.S. Treasury told Eyewitness News the private company is responsible for every nickel that was inside of that truck."
They must have some EXPENSIVE insurance.
