MINNESOTA QUARTERS ALERT (IMPORTANT)
Hang on to any of the new Minnesota quarters you may have or acquire.
They may be worth MUCH MORE than 25 cents! The US Mint
announced today that it is recalling all of the Minnesota quarters that
are part of its program featuring quarters from each state. This action
is being taken after numerous reports that the new quarters will not
work in parking meters, toll booths, vending machines, pay phones or
any other coin operated devices.
Apparently the problem lies in the design of the quarter, which
was designed by a couple of Norwegian specialists, Sven
and Ole. The duct tape holding the two dimes and the nickel together
keeps jamming up the machines.
