He may have been being sarcastic in this instance, but such things have happened in the past.

There's a reason why anyone smart enough to be a counterfeiter, especially in the old days before computerized copy machines, NEVER made anything smaller than a 20$ denomination bill.
Too much work to get rid of it, considering the return and possibility of capture when the bills started turning up in an area.
Stealing nickels has got to be the dumbest theft yet.

$800K to recover $180K. Only government engages in such. Which is why the government enforces the law and not private enterprise. Most armed robers, even bank robers, only walk out with a few hundred bucks. What do you figure it costs to catch them?
If we did on a cost/benefit analysis, we wouldn't even bother looking for them. That is not such a good idea, I think.

''The initial estimate of the cost of the task-force investigation was put at $800,000 by a Treasury spokesman.''
Yeah, but this acts as a deterrent against the feds being nickeled and dimed in the future!

Try Mexico. I guess he was just hauling money for the feds, doing a job that a law-abiding US citizen wouldn't do.

Oh heck!
THey should have let the bad guys keep it. Especially since it cost $800,000 to recover the stolen money.
