2 million dimes = $200,000.
Worth going to prison for $200K?
4 dudes, so $50K each? 🤔
How the fuck are you going to spend 500,000 dimes?
Brings gallon bucket full of dimes to the local coinstar every fucking week for… shit, a lot of weeks
“There’s nothing suspicious about a cement mixer dumping dimes into the counstar. Not at all.”
From the article:
I can’t upvote this enough 😂😂😂
$50,000 / 52 = $961.54 a week for a year.
$961.54 * 10 = 9,615.38 dimes per week.
50 dimes per roll. 192.3076 rolls.
Each roll weighs 8.8 ounces. 1,692.30688 ounces. 105.77 pounds of dimes a week.
Something tells me Coinstar will stop you from trying to deposit almost 10000 dimes 😂

Well if you’re already committing crimes you might as well melt them down and sell the metal. You’ll probably get more for it.
Reading the article, it doesn’t sound like they realized what they were stealing until after. They were on a spree of tractor trailer robberies and I suspect this was just an easy target.
Going to prison for $50k in dimes no less.
I mean, there are people in prison for longer for less, I’m sure.
