Federal authorities have released more details and unsealed charges in the theft of more than 2 million dimes earlier this year from a tractor-trailer that had picked up the coins from the U.S. Mint in Philadelphia.
Imagine after the heist, they came back and splitted it four ways with 500,000 dimes. Then they have to spend it slowly.
“Fat Joey what the hell is that?”
“Just some candy boss”
“Dime store candy?!? I told you to lay low!”
🙂
Did they get caught because someone…
🙂🕶️
…dropped a dime?
😎
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAH!
Is that a saying? I can’t recall hearing it before.
To drop a dime is to “rat out” someone.
Probably more like 50¢
Somebody’s gotta go back and get a shitload of dimes!
You said “dimes” twice.
We like dimes.
kinky… sign here
Thank you.
I hear this line every time I see a link to this story.

2 million dimes = $200,000.
Worth going to prison for $200K?
4 dudes, so $50K each? 🤔
How the fuck are you going to spend 500,000 dimes?
Brings gallon bucket full of dimes to the local coinstar every fucking week for… shit, a lot of weeks
“There’s nothing suspicious about a cement mixer dumping dimes into the counstar. Not at all.”
$50,000 / 52 = $961.54 a week for a year.
$961.54 * 10 = 9,615.38 dimes per week.
50 dimes per roll. 192.3076 rolls.
Each roll weighs 8.8 ounces. 1,692.30688 ounces. 105.77 pounds of dimes a week.
Something tells me Coinstar will stop you from trying to deposit almost 10000 dimes 😂
From the article:
The indictment unsealed Friday alleges that after the theft, thousands of dimes were converted into cash at coin machines in Maryland or through deposits to at least four different suburban Philadelphia banks, the newspaper reported.
I can’t upvote this enough 😂😂😂
Well if you’re already committing crimes you might as well melt them down and sell the metal. You’ll probably get more for it.
Reading the article, it doesn’t sound like they realized what they were stealing until after. They were on a spree of tractor trailer robberies and I suspect this was just an easy target.
Going to prison for $50k in dimes no less.
I mean, there are people in prison for longer for less, I’m sure.
He was buried with 10 dimes too I think.
Fly me to the moon if you need a little ol’ blues eyes in your day
Who knew that the March of Dimes had a militant wing?
That would be a fun adult cartoon, “The March of Dimes: Special Forces.”
“October of Dimes” seems so cliche like when retailers do “Black Friday” in July.
Should have rolled insight to resist consequences.
(I may have been playing too much Blades in the Dark.)
Probably committed by Eisenhower’s ghost. That dude loved dimes.
Do you mean FDR? He’s who’s on the dime at least.
I knew Ike felt like the wrong president but I didn’t have a dime handy. C’est la vie.
Weird… I remember thinking Eisenhower was on the dime, too.
Mandela effect?
No big deal. I thought you might have known an Eisenhower dime story.
Looking it up now I think I might have confused an Ike dollar for a dime. They look kind of similar in portrait.
