$1000 is 10,000 dimes. Divide by 10 and we have 1000 ounces. 1000/16 = 62.5 pounds.

"Anybody got a dime?"

[Starboard]

Someone might drop a dime on them for the reward.

[Jane Long]

The bigger question.....what was someone doing with 2 million dimes?

Trying to take them out of circulation?

🤔

If there is a dime slot machine in some casino, the mob will launder the money.

What do you do with five tons of dimes?

“All U.S. dimes minted since 1965 weigh 2.268 grams (0.080 ounces). U.S. dimes have a diameter of 17.91 mm, a thickness of 1.35 mm, and are composed of a metallic “clad sandwich” of copper (91.67%) and nickel (8.33%).”

That’s a lot of “dime bags” even for Philadelphia

[Round Earther]

There’s not a dime’s bit of difference between this and a real bank robbery.

[Responsibility2nd]

I remember this put-down... “Here’s a dime. Call someone who cares.”

Now you can call 2 million people who care.

According to the interweb, a US dime is 0.08 oz.

2 million dimes = 10,000 lbs of dimes

[Teflonic]

Dimes offer the highest dollar value by volume than any other coin.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Slim Pickens musta stolen them to git through that toll booth out west.

I'll get a dime,
we'll go out and

Just a side note --- the Byberry Road mentioned in the article is near where the now-gone "Byberry Nut Hospital" used to be located, where all the democrats lived until they were all turned loose to live and poop on the streets, and to vote for fellow democrats.  (This is just a picture I found of it -- not trying to promote that link.)

The Big Guy is thankful that you are not calculating his 10%.

“Trailer Park Boys”

Hatched a plan to steal bags of coin from a truck.

Their getaway plan was foiled, cause they forgot to factor in the weight of the coins

[Scrambler Bob]

If these are currently minted, they are pretty worthless for metal content.

If they were pre-64 silver, each would be worth about $2 to $2.50.

[SGCOS]

Walmart? The Dimes were problem made in china.

[Drago]

They should have gone for the nickel truck if melting down for base metal value...nickels are currently worth $0.0631127 each in metal (copper/nickel) content (dimes only worth $.0232)....my guess is they are going to spend the dimes at face value (or “CoinStar” them...cops should stake out local Coinstar machines). No need to “launder” them...no serial numbers.
