## Semi-Truck Spills $800K in Dimes Causing Unfathomably Annoying Cleanup

Authored by thedrive.com

Semi-truck crashes and the clean-up efforts that follow are rarely mundane.

We’ve seen wrecked trucks spill supercars, beer, and fireworks over the past couple of years, to name a few examples.

But crews in Texas were recently dispatched to clean up an even more unusual spill: millions of newly minted dimes.

The incident happened on Highway 287 in Alvord, a town located about an hour northwest of Dallas.

Local news outlet WFAA explains that the driver veered off the road at about 5:30 a.m. on April 30, overcorrected, and rolled.

The trailer flipped with the truck and spilled roughly $800,000 in dimes onto the road.

Some workers even ended up painstakingly picking up the dimes one at a time by hand and dumping them into one of the vacuum cleaners. »

Since sunscreen is classified as an over-the-counter drug by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, New Jersey students can’t access it in school without a doctor’s note, officials say.

The policy would not require students to provide a doctor’s note to use sunscreen — which is considered a non-prescription medicine — or wear sun-protective clothing while outdoors at school, according to the bill.

The bill unanimously passed both houses of the state Legislature. »
