Alabama Quarters recall.

WASHINGTON, DC. (AP)

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 a University of Alabama graduate, Shackleford said.



"Apparently, the duct tape holding the two dimes and the nickel together
keeps jamming the coin-operated devices."

There certainly are some real characters on this board. That was pretty funny. Great timing too, ya had me right up 'til the very end. I have a really cool fake of the Arkansas state quarter. On the reverse it says "Birthplace of Clinton". The design has a tree in the foreground; a man sitting on the ground with a chick on her knees with her head in his lap.

Have they done that joke for all of the states yet? So far I've heard it for IN, KY, TN, MO, MI, AZ, MS and now AL.
