COIN, Iowa — A man from the small city of Coin in southwestern Iowa has been sentenced to more than 13 years in prison for charges stemming from the theft of a rare and valuable coin collection.
Federal prosecutors said Tuesday that 25-year-old Devan Rodez Casteel was sentenced to 162 months in prison for car jacking and brandishing a weapon while robbing a Page County woman on her farm. Prosecutors say Casteel held the woman at gun point while stealing the coin collection that she received after her husband died.
Casteel was found guilty during a November 2009 trial. Prosecutors say Casteel also was ordered to serve three years of supervised release and pay $200 to a crime victim's fund. The determination of restitution was delayed until the value of the stolen coins can be established.

The local tavern is called, "The Gold Coin"!
The legend goes that when they were plotting the ground for the town 170 years ago, a surveyor found a coin when driving a stake and they decided to name the town "Coin".
