last February, two shipments of coins — 111 plastic bags of loose change — left BankFive in Brink’s armored trucks, bound for a company in Taunton that processes money for Eastern Bank.
470,000 quarters, dimes, nickels, and pennies. The coins weigh an estimated 4,317 pounds and, if stacked, would be three times the height of Boston’s Hancock Tower.
“The money never reached us,’’ said Eastern Bank spokesman Andrew Ravens.
