Save Your Minnesota Quarters
Hang on to any of the new Minnesota Quarters!
If you have them; they may be worth much more than 25 cents. The U.S. Mint announced today that it is recalling all of the MINNESOTA 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, tollbooths, vending machines, pay phones, or any other coin operated device.
The problem lies in the unique design of the MINNESOTA quarter, which was designed by a team of MINNESOTANS.
Apparently the duct tape holding the two dimes and the nickel together keeps jamming the machines.
