After the heist, the parking lot was strewn with ten-cent pieces, but prosecutors say a group of four men made off with about $234,500 worth of dimes in a brazen Philadelphia-area truck robbery earlier this year, according to unsealed charges.
On 13 April, Rakiem Savage, 25; Ronald Byrd, 31; Haneef Palmer, 30; and Malik Palmer, 32, allegedly used tire irons and bolt cutters to break into a semi-truck carrying a massive load of dimes from the US Mint in Philadelphia to Miami, according to federal prosecutors.
