Miami cops find millions of missing nickels


Police hit paydirt Friday, digging up 3.6 million nickels that disappeared along with a trucker who was supposed to deliver them to the U.S. Federal Reserve Bank in New Orleans.

Authorities found the $180,000 in coins buried in a one-metre hole in the backyard of a suburban-Miami home. The nickels, still stored in their Federal Reserve bags, were in a wooden box, covered with a plastic tarp.
