Subject: West Virginia Quarter Recall
WASHINGTON,D.C. -- Hang on to any of the new State of West Virginia 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 West Virginia quarters that are part of its program featuring quarters from each state.
"We are recalling all the new West Virginia 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 West Virginia quarter," Shackleford said. "Apparently, the duct tape holding the two dimes and the nickel together keeps jamming the coin-operated devices."

Coin collectors have begun hoarding the State of West Virginia quarters. They may be worth much more than 25 cents.

<< <i>Why'd I open this thread since I knew exactly what it was going to be??
I had to look at the date stamp as I recall this whole "duct tape and SHQ" joke from YEARS ago.....right after the WV quarter, the Texas quarter, the OK quarter, the MO quarter, etc were all launched.
I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment
