The greatest headlines in the world (and other weird news stories)

Regrettably not real, though the photo is a nice touch and gives it more gravitas than most places reproducing it managed.

 

a billion dollars' worth of nickels would weigh in at about 110,000 tons. That load would far exceed the carrying capacity of 30 or so trucks (requiring each truck to carry over 3,600 tons, or more than <NOBR>7.2 million lbs.</NOBR> each). The equivalent of about 2,755 eighteen-wheeler trucks, each hauling 40 tons' worth of nickels, would be needed to transport the weight of that many coins.
