zach23 Posted January 29, 2004 Share Posted January 29, 2004 BULLETIN WASHINGTON, D.C. — Hang on to any of the new State of Arkansas 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 Arkansas quarters that are part of its program featuring quarters from each state. "We are recalling all the new Arkansas quarters that were recently issued," Treasury Undersecretary Jack Shackleford said Monday. "This action is being taken after numerous reports that 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 Arkansas quarter, which was created by a University of Arkansas graduate," Shackleford said. "Apparently, the duct tape holding the two dimes and the nickel together keeps jamming the coin-operated devices." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sox4lifeinPA Posted January 29, 2004 Share Posted January 29, 2004 i thought the punch line was going to have something to do with a certian ex-presidents , ummm protruding , ummm , jamming the parking meter ect I thought it might jamming up the machines because each quarter was hand-sprinkled in ex-presidential, er fluids... which when you think about, seems appropriate for WJC ----------------the line------------------- Sox4life Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
