Hang on to any of the new Missouri Quarters. If you have them, they may be
worth much more than 25 cents.
The US Mint announced today that it is recalling all of the Missouri
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. The problem lies in the unique design of the
Missouri quarter, which was designed by a team of Ozark Mountain
specialists. Apparently, the duct tape holding the two dimes and the nickel
together keeps jamming up the machines.
