3,600,000


Three million six hundred thousand nickels.



That's $180,000.



It weighs 23 tons.



And somebody stole it. Disappeared from an 18 wheeler in Florida. The driver is missing too.



That's a lot of nickels. According to The Today Show  it would take a year to turn that in to cash at a rate of $500 a day. Talk about a patient thief.



Or, of course, just pay in nickels for the rest of your life.
