Armored truck crashes, spilling millions in coins

Betallsports · Mar 29, 2012

Forget that $500 million Mega Millions jackpot. Your chances of picking up some cash would have been much better if you happened to be strolling along Highway 11 in Ontario yesterday morning, when a Brink's truck crashed into a rock and then into other cars. Millions of dollars in Canadian coins spilled along the highway, and Brink's may need to resort to using a magnetic crane to pick it all up. Two Brink's employees ended up in the hospital; everyone else was okay.

So what you're saying is that you weren't involved Eh ?

Doug · Mar 30, 2012

No I was not involved. However it did cause me to think what a million one dollar coins would weigh, I came up with about 16,000 pounds, so that is plausible that an armored truck could haul that....but it is a LOT of weight....I think that would be about a limit load, so millions might be a stretch ? 40 ton limit in the US for tractor-trailers.
