New Idaho quarters

OK, I got suckered on this one … until I read the end. Dunno who’s the originator:

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Hang on to any of the new State of Idaho 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 Idaho quarters that are part of its program featuring quarters from each state.”We are recalling all the new Idaho 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 problem lies in the unique design of the Idaho quarter, which was created by a University of Idaho graduate”, Shackleford said.
Apparently, the duct tape holding the two dimes and the nickel together keeps jamming the coin-operated devices.
