A security firm lorry carrying approx 2 million euros in one and two-euro coins overturned near Foggia, Italy.
The lorry's rear door popped open, shedding the precious cargo.
Before the police arrived, some drivers stopped their cars and made off with at least 10,000 euros.
Police later closed the motorway to try to recover the money.
The incident made the front page of many Italian newspapers.
The lorry, belonging to a security firm, was transporting the coins from Cesena to Bari, distributing money from the Italian mint to banks, reports say.
