Federal authorities have released more details and unsealed charges in the theft of more than 2 million dimes earlier this year from a tractor-trailer that had picked up the coins from the U.S. Mint in Philadelphia.

Imagine after the heist, they came back and splitted it four ways with 500,000 dimes. Then they have to spend it slowly.

"Fat Joey what the hell is that?"

"Just some candy boss"

"Dime store candy?!? I told you to lay low!"

🙂

Did they get caught because someone...

🙂🕶️

...dropped a dime?

😎

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAH!

[–] Squirrel@thelemmy.club 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Is that a saying? I can't recall hearing it before.

[–] _haha_oh_wow_@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

To drop a dime is to "rat out" someone.

[–] Salamendacious@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Probably more like 50¢

[–] moody@lemmings.world 15 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Somebody's gotta go back and get a shitload of dimes!

[–] MorrisonMotel6@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You said "dimes" twice.

We like dimes.

[–] CADmonkey@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

kinky... sign here

Thank you.

I hear this line every time I see a link to this story.

He was buried with 10 dimes too I think.

Fly me to the moon if you need a little ol' blues eyes in your day

Who knew that the March of Dimes had a militant wing?

[–] Salamendacious@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

That would be a fun adult cartoon, "The March of Dimes: Special Forces."

[–] CmdrShepard@lemmy.one 2 points 1 year ago

"October of Dimes" seems so cliche like when retailers do "Black Friday" in July.

[–] Zombiepirate@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Should have rolled insight to resist consequences.

(I may have been playing too much Blades in the Dark.)

Probably committed by Eisenhower’s ghost. That dude loved dimes.

[–] Salamendacious@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Do you mean FDR? He's who's on the dime at least.

[–] teft@startrek.website 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I knew Ike felt like the wrong president but I didn't have a dime handy. C'est la vie.

[–] ApostleO@startrek.website 2 points 1 year ago

Weird... I remember thinking Eisenhower was on the dime, too.

Mandela effect?

[–] Salamendacious@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No big deal. I thought you might have known an Eisenhower dime story.

[–] teft@startrek.website 2 points 1 year ago

Looking it up now I think I might have confused an Ike dollar for a dime. They look kind of similar in portrait.
