$800,000 In Dime Coins Spills On Texas Highway After Truck Overturns; Crews Spent Hours Collecting Them One By One.

In the early hours of April 30, an unusual accident surprised drivers and emergency crews on Highway 287 in Alvord, Texas. A truck carrying about $800,000 in dime coins lost control, ran off the road, overturned, and scattered millions of coins across the highway.

Scattered Coins and Laborious Cleanup

According to the broadcaster WFAA, the accident occurred around 5:30 AM.

The driver attempted to correct the steering and driving after leaving the road, but ended up overturning the truck and its trailer.

The vehicle was carrying approximately eight million dime coins.

The destination of the cargo and the reason for the transport were not clarified.

The scene drew attention. Videos show workers using industrial vacuums mounted on trucks, shovels, rakes, and even gardening tools to collect the coins.

At times, employees were seen picking up the coins one by one, with their hands, to place them into the vacuums.

Traffic Disrupted for Hours

The spill caused the highway to be closed for several hours. Even after partial clearance, crews continued the cleanup work late into the night, according to local news outlets.

Despite the severity of the overturn, the driver and a passenger managed to escape the accident without serious injuries.

Authorities did not disclose further details about the origin or destination of the shipment, but the incident has become one of the most unusual ever recorded in the area.

The case drew attention due to the unusual nature of the cargo and the complexity of the cleanup operation.
