$100,000 Worth of Dimes Stolen!!!

[Thunk]

The poor truck driver figured...who the hell would steal $750,000 in dimes?

Welp, they gave it the old college try...but fell short.

Vending machines...while ya still can. Employer just replaced ours. Now it's just class refrigs and only payment method in s a card. Sad situation

If someone wants to buy a new car with dimes, I'd take a look at them.

But what if someone just wanted to buy a dimebag of wacky tobacky?

Wow how heavy would that have been?

A bit more than three tons. Use the parking lot camera to locate a 10 wheel van or large pull trailer.

I think it was an inside job.

Is that a roll of dimes in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?

"Roughly $100,000 worth of dimes were stolen from a truck trailer in northeast Philadelphia early Thursday morning.

Police are hoping someone will now a drop a dime of whoever cut the lock off that truck, which was parked in a Walmart parking lot while its driver went home to rest before taking his load to Florida. The long-hauler reportedly realized his vehicle was broken into at 6 a.m.

The truck was reportedly carrying $750,000 in dimes. The coins were being transported from the Philadelphia Mint.

Sadly, the central bank has devalued currency to the extent that most coins are worth more if you drill a hole through em and sell em as washers.

True story...

I'm thunkin' about 5,000 pounds. Give or take.

440 lbs is how much they would weigh. Well 440.9 if you want to be precise or 441 if you want to round up.

A dime weighs 2 grams. There are 28 grams in a ounce. 16oz in 1 lb.

So 100000 dimes x 2 grams is 200000

1 gram is equal to 2.2×10-3 lb

200000 g / 453.59237
= 440.9245243698 lb

I am impressed

Someone needs to drop a dime on him, or better yet, drop 1 million dimes on him.

How can he spend them without getting caught? His only foolproof approach would be to add a dime or two with every purchase he makes for the rest of his life. He could lay low for a couple of years and collect other change, mix it all in and do the rounds at various banks and change machines but he would catch a red flag eventually.

He could wait until the statute of limitations runs out, and then a bank would be forced to cash the dimes in for him without repercussion.

That was my first thought.

Each dime weighs 2.68g, $100,000/.10 cent = 1 million X 2.68 = 2,680,000 grams / 453.5924g in a lb = 5,908.3882357817 lbs.

According to the Ohio Digital Mathematics Project, 1 million dimes would weigh more than 3 tons.

Your post disagrees with Resnics by a factor of about 10. I am too lazy to look it up, who do we believe good sir?

Resnic said there were 100,000 dimes. Hence my response to him.

20,000 rolls of dimes with each weighing about a quarter pound!
