The unidentified man initially refused to leave the scene, despite injuries and a heart condition. "He was in pain, but he was more worried about the money," Highway Patrol Trooper Darryl Haywood Jr. said.

The man contacted a network of fellow collectors in the area to help recover the coins and about eight to nine turned out with metal detectors. Police helped as well and a tow truck driver found $46,000 in bills in the trees.
However, it was not immediately clear how much of the total was recovered. The man and his wife had been en route from their home in Boca Raton to a coin show in Jacksonville when the accident occurred on Thursday night on Interstate highway 95.
