The Thousand Phantom Dollars: How Mint Workers Walked Out With Silver

A chill morning discovery - a flawless Morgan-design silver dollar standing upright in frost - set off an investigation that revealed 1,200 unauthorized strikes and a missing parallel inventory. How did coins produced inside a bonded vault disappear without an alarm, and who used the mint's own presses to make them?

In this episode, we follow the timeline from Nicole Sheridan's photograph at 6:22 a.m. to the production-log discrepancy uncovered by Wendy Alcott, and the access-and-video records Ralph Fisher used to narrow suspects - culminating in the question of how internal processes were exploited to walk away with silver.

Event: Unauthorized 1,200 extra coin strikes

- 6:22 a.m. on December 9, 2014: Nicole Sheridan found a single Morgan-design silver dollar upright in frost and photographed it.
- Within 90 minutes: an officer found 14 additional Morgan-design coins scattered across 80 yards of pavement toward the north entrance.
- By 9:15 a.m.: facility manager Dennis Okafor opened the vault and counted four thousand numbered sets, all present and apparently intact.
- Die-use counter discrepancy: official production record showed 4,000 strikes while the die-use counter recorded 5,200 strikes - 1,200 unaccounted coins.
- Security footage: at 12:34 a.m. a dark green Chevrolet Colorado arrived and remained until 4:49 a.m.; the truck was registered to Duane Mills, who badged out at 10:58 p.m. with no re-entry badge or swipe logged.
