Attention numismatists!

Save your Texas Quarters!

Hang on to any of the new Texas Quarters. If you have them, they may be worth much more than 25 cents.

The US Mint announced that it is recalling all of the Texas quarters that are part of its program featuring quarters from each state. 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 any other coin operated devices.

The problem lies in the unique design of the Texas quarter, which was designed by a team of Austin specialists.
Apparently the duct tape holding the two dimes and the nickel together keeps jamming up the machines.
