Alabama Quarters Recalled

[Ponch ®]

Hang on to any of the new State of Alabama quarters. If you have them,
they may be worth much more than 25 cents.

The U.S. Treasury announced today that it is recalling all of the
Alabama quarters that are part of its program featuring quarters from
each state.

"We are recalling all the new Alabama quarters that were recently
issued," Treasury Undersecretary Jack Shackleford said Monday. "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 other coin-operated devices."

The quarters were issued in the order in which the various states joined
the U.S. and have been a tremendous success among coin collectors
worldwide.

"The problem lies in the unique design of the Alabama quarter, which was
created by an Auburn University graduate," Shackleford said.
"Apparently, the duct tape holding the two dimes and the nickel together
keeps jamming the coin-operated devices."

Up here in Canada, the same joke flies around with reference to the Newfoundland quarters.
