Texas authorities were spotted on video shoveling and individually picking up $800,000 worth of dimes that spilled across a highway early Tuesday.

Alvord Fire Department officials confirmed to FOX 4 Dallas that eight million loose dimes were being carried by a tractor-trailer when it overturned on U.S. Highway 287 in Wise County, Texas.

The Texas Department of Public Safety said the truck veered off the road, over-corrected and flipped, according to FOX 4.

It is unclear why the coins were not in bank rolls.

The Wise County Sheriff’s Office did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
