If you're reading this, you have too much time on your hands.
Granted, that many nickels is worth $180,000, but how the heck is the guy who stole it going to spend all that change? I think it might raise somebody's suspicions if you showed up to pay for something huge and all you had were a crap load of nickels.

My guess is they will utilize those coin redemption machines we see at the markets. Quite an effort to even do That, but they'd be working for themselves, so to speak and surely wouldn't balk at the nominal fee.
By the way, how does one even know it's a truckload of nickels? And. oh yeah, The Feds suspect "foul play". There's a revelation for ya to ponder.
