MELBOURNE (AP) – About $70 in nickels is ending up costing three Brevard County Sheriff’s deputies a lot more.

The three deputies, along with one communications officer, have been reprimanded for collecting and keeping the nickels after an accident on Interstate 95 involving a truck en route from the U.S. Mint in Philadelphia.

The September crash happened just south of Scottsmoor with a truck headed for the Federal Reserve Bank in Miami. One person was killed and 3.7 million nickels spilled onto the roadway.

Most of the nickels had been picked up, but the Brevard employees admitted picking up more than 1,400 that were missed.
