Man hired to clean 7.6...

Man hired to clean 7.6 million pennies. "The [coins] spilled out of a tractor-trailer during a traffic accident on October 4 as they were being transported... After the truck overturned, heavy equipment was called to scoop up the pennies. It was raining that day, so a large amount of dirt and mud was picked up along with the coins..." To think, all this time I thought pennies were supposed to be dirty.
