Millions of currencies spilled on a Texas road this week after a tractor-clear that transported $ 800,000 in ten cents coins turned around in an accident, authorities said.
The spill led to the closure of a portion of the lanes to the south of US 287 in Alvord for approximately half a day when the workers put on hands and knees to collect the coins, in addition to using brooms and shovels and large industrial emptiness.
The tractor-clear rolled to its side around 5:30 am on Tuesday after deviating from the road and excessive corrections, according to the Texas Public Security Department. The road reopened around 7 pm that day, DPS said.
The driver and a passenger were transported to a hospital with injuries that did not threaten life, DPS said.

The tractor-light seems to be part of the fleet of trucks operated by Western Distributing Transportation Corporation, which has a division that moves the government load in armored vehicles with armed personnel. A person who answered the phone on the company on Thursday said he had no comments.
The US mint. Uu. It says on its website that it is the only manufacturer of legal coins of legal tender of the nation. On Thursday a message was immediately returned with the agency.
