Big Nickel Theft-UPDATED

Someone has stolen 3.6 million nickels belonging to the Federal Reserve, perhaps the truck driver hauling them, perhaps someone else.  How in heaven's name do you liquidate $180K in Nickels? Update: Here's the America's Most Wanted story.  UPDATE: Miami-Dade police searching for a hydroponics lab noticed a cooler full of shiny new nickels; after searching with metal detectors they found 3 million nickels buried in the backyard.  (They also found 88 marijuana plants, and it has not been determined if the missing truck driver has any connection to the property). I still want to know: What was the plan? Eat at vending machines three meals a day for the rest of your life? [Jack Chin]
