An 18-wheeler rolled onto its side on Tuesday, spilling part of a load of eight million dimes onto a Texas highway, the authorities said.
Road lanes were closed for about 14 hours while crews used vacuums, shovels and their hands to scoop up freshly minted loose coins.

Here’s a small fact.
The Latin name for red coloring was ‘minium.'
The corresponding verb meaning "to color with minium" was ‘miniare.’
It was later broadened to mean “decorate a manuscript.”
'Miniatura,’ was used to refer to the adding of illustrations to a manuscript.

Map showing where #Roman coins have been found. Interesting to see how there are so few places inside Asia Minor (today's Anatolia). That could explain the #history of the region under the #Byzantine and Seljuk rule. Inner Anatolia was for centuries isolated from the #Empire and a source of soldiers
