Interesting and funny.I have a little trouble believing that there were "silver" dollars on that truck though.I have a feeling that some overly enthusiastic reporter mixed up Kennedy Halves with dollars.Unless there were some rolls of SBA's or Ikes,I doubt it's true.
"The money -- everything from pennies to silver dollars -- was spread over at least 100 feet of northbound 17 near the Santa Cruz-Santa Clara county line after the truck's driver lost control of his vehicle about 2 p.m." Perhaps they were going to a coin show whith those "silver Dollars"?
