I found this article on firelink.com it sounds like they were picking up nickels for a while.

Wow, that must have been one hell of a clean up.

"FHP spokeswoman Sgt. Kim Miller said the Department of Treasury and the Secret Service were overseeing the coin pickup and were determined to pick up every one."

I want to know how badly you had to have messed up to get assigned to that clean up detail.

I was about to ask a silly question... but first I decided to hold a nickel up to the big magnet on the speaker in my guitar amp... so to answer my own question: No, a big magnet would not have worked.

FHP: "No, you cannot leave until you find the last nickel."

It is great that some one had to pick them all up but it sucks for the person that has to count them to make sure the all were picked up and Why am I never in the right place at the right time. (How do I go to the bank and try to cash in S182K worth of nickles??? or jsut overload coinstar) lol
