A Vancouver, Washington, man is accused of using stolen antique coins to pay for his night out. Dakoda Garren,19, was arrested Saturday for allegedly stealing an antique coin collection worth $100,000 – then spending the coins at face value on a movie and pizza with his girlfriend. Police say the couple spent several 1930 coins at a movie theater, using quarters worth between $5 and $68 each. Later that day they spent more of the coin collection at a local pizza restaurant, including a Liberty quarter with an estimated value of between $1,100 and $18,500. A theater employee identified Garren from a photo lineup. Garren is being held in jail with bail set at $40,000, but officials declined to jail Massman because she is 9 months pregnant.
