A truck carrying around $800,000 in dimes overturned at approximately 5:30 a.m. on June 29, 2025, in Alvord, Texas. The crash made the coins scatter on U.S. Highway 287. Workers had to close part of the road until 7 p.m. The Texas Department of Public Safety said the truck turned over after leaving the road and moving back too fast. Emergency workers used hands, shovels, and vacuums to collect the coins. Two people were taken to the hospital. The injuries were not serious.
The truck was connected to a company that moves important goods in special trucks. The U.S. Mint, which makes coins, did not give a comment. Experts said the crash was hard to manage and cost a lot. The event showed that moving money on roads can be risky. The long cleanup showed the importance of good planning and care when moving small but valuable items.
