PENNIES FROM HEAVEN

A shifty-eyed Italian hi way working coin sweeper

Some people are calling it the ‘miracle of the coins’ because it happened in Italy

I like most things Italian like the food, the pope, the church, Italian cars, Leonardo, Florence and Campobasso, the town where my Dad was born… and I liked reading about…

the rear doors of a truck carrying $2.5 million in euro coins overturned opening its rear doors with 10,000 euro coins spilling out… that’s about $12,500… It brought hi way traffic to a screeching halt…it's said Italian cars can stop on a euro...

The truck was carrying coins from the Italian mint to local banks…not strangely enough the driver and a passenger were slightly injured but nobody noticed until the police arrived…

Don’t you love it when people hit the jackpot?
