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."
