huskerhaze Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 WASHINGTON,D.C.(AP) -- Hang on to any of the new State of Nebraska 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 Nebraska quarters that are part of its program featuring quarters from each state. "We are recalling all the new Nebraska 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 Nebraska quarter, which was created by an Engineering Graduate from the University of Nebraska," Shackleford said. "Apparently, the duct tape holding the two dimes and the nickel togetherkeeps jamming the coin-operated devices." Quote Link to comment
