BEYDA, Libya—Underneath a bank in this eastern coastal city, a vault holds a trove of gold and silver coins worth $184 million. It belongs to the central bank, which could use the money to alleviate a crippling cash shortage.
The pile, however, presents some problems. The coins are locked away with a five-number code that central bankers in this part of the country don’t have. A rival government in Tripoli, which has effective control over the bank system, won’t hand over the digits and has expressed concern the money could fund armed militias opposed to its rule.
To make things worse, the metal pieces bear the face of Moammar Gadhafi, the reviled leader who was overthrown, captured and killed in 2011.

THANKS HILLARY!
A number code? So there is 100,000 combinations?
I will unlock it for them for $1,000,000 if they will give me 5 days.
How expensive are some welding torches and a few tanks of propane?
Makes more sense than anything else actually.
Not that simple
HRC is deeply saddened. She thought it would be hers. You know...as a reward for liberating the country.
I’m retired EOD........ it will be loud but I can open it .
Try 1-2-3-4-5
Definitely ‘Joshua’
A 5-digit code is child’s play. That’s why standard encryption is 128-bit for computers. And even that can be overcome with serious power and a great algorithm (in a few weeks).
“1-2-3-4-5? That’s the combination that an idiot would have on his luggage!”
“Gentlemen, did we get the combination?”
“Yes sir, it’s 1-2-3-4-5.”
“Amazing! That’s the combination on my luggage!”
Hell yah!
It’s a five-NUMBER code, not a five-digit code. Try 36-24-36-24-7...
4-8-15-16-23-42
This may be an interesting anecdote for certain discussions...
think you used enough dynamite there Butch?
Oh for Pete’s sake .... just send Vito over there, he’ll crack it in a New York second.
No chance of anyone highly involved with installation and configuration left?
Have they tried to get a hold of the people who built it, assuming they are still around?
Weld a lot of cables to the door a hook a few CAT dozers and see what happens.
