Just days after a truck dropped bags of cash in Illinois, an 18-wheeler spilled $800,000 in dimes on a highway in Texas.

The vehicle carrying the dimes was driving through Alvord in Wise County, about 75 miles northwest of Dallas around 5:30 a.m. April 29, when "the driver veered off the roadway, overcorrected, and caused the 18-wheeler to roll onto its side," the Texas Department of Public Safety said.

The accident caused $800,000 in dimes to be scattered on the roadway. Video footage from the incident shows crew workers using shovels and a vacuum cleaner to pick up the dimes and clear the roadway, which was reopened around 7:00 pm. Some workers even picked up the dimes with their bare hands.

Authorities did not specify who was operating the truck, why it was carrying thousands of loose dimes and what the destination was. It is also not known if all the money was recovered.
