Motorists in southern Italy must have thought they had hit the jackpot after spotting piles of euro coins on a motorway.

A security lorry carrying some two million euros (£1.66m; $2.5m) in one and two-euro coins overturned near Foggia.

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.
