A Story only Terrance can appreciate

Seems they kinda like your style of payment.
Pay your fines by truck

 

Is it? Damn!

 

It was too funny a story to apply logic.....damn

 

Damn it I was wishing it was real! That would be so friggin awesome!

 

There probably isn't 20billion nickles in circulation total...be interesting to know...and how much would that weight, how much space would that volume of money take up.

 

Well...one nickel is 5.0 grams...

at $1000 you are already at 22,000Lbs of nickels

 

And for those who need a 'cite':

There is only one way that a person gains that nugget of knowledge....... :tut:

 

Google.

 

Well, there's that too.

 

Dammit! I thought this was gonna be another evil squirrel thread!

There's only one reason someone would say that's the only way to gain that nugget of knowledge.

 

It used to be 7 grams. I guess all packaging has been downsized.

 

Damn

 

I think this would make one dollar in nickels weigh 22 pounds

 

Off by a factor of 100.

 

I also noticed that this article calculated that each of the 2755 trucks could carry 80,000 pounds of nickels.

In the US, where this supposedly happened, the total weight of a truck is limited to 80,000 pounds without a special permit. 50,000 pounds is a typical payload, so it would take about 4400 trucks.

 

The 80,000 lb special permit applies to interstates mostly not state roads. Thats why you never see loaded dump trucks and trailers on the interstate. Also your allowed +10% of your gross weight which means since truckers are pushing for everylast nickel most of the dump trucks are around 88,000 lbs.
