New Michigan Quarter
« on: Nov 11, 2006, 06:35 AM »
Hang on to any of the new State of Michigan 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 Michigan quarters that are part of its program featuring quarters from each state. "We are recalling all
the new Michigan 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 Michigan quarter, which was created by a Wisconsin graduate,"Shackleford said. "Apparently, the duct tape holding the two dimes and
the nickel together keeps jamming the coin-operated devices."

It has also been reported that there will not be any new quarters made for the state of Minnesota. They decided this when they learned that slightly less than half of the Minnesota population does not have enough fingers and toes to verify the value of a quarter.
