The Palm Beach Post reports:
A Florida man stole more than $30,000 in rare coins and cashed them in for a fraction of their value at change machines at area grocery stores, investigators said. Palm Beach Sheriff’s Office investigators said Shane Anthony Mele, 40, stole the rare presidential coins, valued at $1,000 each. Investigators said Mele then exchanged them through CoinStar change machines at grocery stores, which would only give face value for them, a fraction of their worth.
