Another "money falling off of an armored car" story : March 3, 2000 Armored Cars Spill Coins Filed at 9:06 p.m. EST By The Associated Press An armored car dropped about 400,000 pennies on a highway in Washington state Friday, a day after Wisconsin officers scrambled to scoop up $1,000 in quarters spilled on a freeway there. ``It was all pennies -- pennies from heaven,' Trooper Monica Hunter said of the spill on an Interstate-5 off-ramp in Seattle. The truck was moving quickly and ``the back door flew open and out came the pennies from heaven,' she said. State Transportation Department personnel picked up the coins with no help from passersby, Hunter said. ``We didn't allow anybody to be enterprising on this one,' she said. In Wisconsin, a 50-pound bag of quarters fell from the rear of an armored truck on U.S. 53 in a suburb of Eau Claire on Thursday. About a dozen employees of the security company and five police officers collected the coins, and no passersby tried to make off with any, said police Sgt. Harry Gordee. ``It was very orderly,' Gordee said. ``If it had been $100 bills lying there, who knows what would have happened?' Hunter in Washington state said coins were hardly the most unusual highway spills. ``A couple weeks ago it was cut-up cows -- there was blood and animal parts everywhere,' she said. ``The stench from that was horrible.'
