The Florida Highway Patrol has closed part of Interstate 95 after a truck carrying $187,000 worth of nickels crashed and scattered coins across the road, killing one person.The highway patrol says the tractor-trailer was carrying the nickels from Philadelphia to Miami when it apparently rear-ended another truck early Wednesday. Authorities say a passenger in the truck with the coins was killed and both drivers were hospitalized.
Authorities say so many nickels spilled out that the highway is sparkling in the Florida sun.

You know what really makes this story, the fact that they were nickels. It's so, picayune.
So were there any dimes? Or was the person just nickeled to death?
What happens when they have a massive coin-spill? Do they bring in a giant CoinStar machine?
This is bad and good;
1. The reduced amount of nickles makes you money more valuable
2. There is less money to go around that might be needed by a company or person elsewhere.
should we be wary of change now?
That's not the change we need.
It’s your Nickel, Watch it Work.
