Nickel and diming it

Earlier this week a big rig from the US Treasury Department carrying more than 4 million nickels, that’s over $200,000, was involved in a fatal crash on I-95 in Florida. Troopers have recovered about $300 worth of nickels and are actively pursuing at least 4 motorists who stopped at the time of the crash to loot nickels from the scene. Officials have reported that other looting has most likely occurred, but the focus is definitely on the four lucky (?) individuals right behind the crash who cashed in.
