The Texas Department of Transportation (USA) conducted an unusual operation to clear the roadway. 
The Texas Department of Public Safety reported that an 18-wheeler truck flipped on its side on the highway after the driver lost control. The driver and passenger were taken to the hospital with minor injuries, and while their lives are not to be feared, the cargo is causing quite a stir. 
The thing is, the vehicle was carrying 8 million freshly minted dimes, which spilled out onto the road. It's easy to calculate that there were $800,000 worth of coins on the highway.
The highway was closed for several hours while Department of Transportation crews cleaned up the scattered change. Hopefully, none of the coins got lost.
