coppertop5150 Pillar of the Community United States 958 Posts	Posted 01/07/2011 10:31 pm The story is 5 yrs old , never been solved, where did they go ? who took them? 3.6 million nickles In another thread people assumed moving 250k face value of pennies out of the country would be impossible to do , they would get caught by the govt and pennies seized. Here is a story even BETTER to show a example how things vanish under the govts watchful eye. 3.6 MILLION NICKLES , 23 TONS, $180,000 STOLEN AND NEVER RECOVERED FROM THE MINT. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6826757 Things get exported all the time from the u.s some stolen , some illegally , some unknowingly and some just vanish into thin air.

andrewjconners Valued Member United States 497 Posts	Posted 01/07/2011 10:56 pm Wow. I mean how does someone steal that many nickels. Must of been the night watch hah. Whoever stole them is probably a pretty smart person if he hasn't been caught and has had them for 5 years. Report this Post to the Staff

It is suspected that the driver fled the country and he is currently wanted by the FBI. http://articles.sun-sentinel.com/20...s-miami-dade http://www.amw.com/missing_persons/...cfm?id=29703 Report this Post to the Staff
