WASHINGTON,D.C. --
Hang on to any of the new State of West Virginia 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 West Virginia quarters that are part of its program featuring quarters from each state.
"We are recalling all the new West Virginia quarters that were recently issued," Treasury Undersecretary Jack Shackleford said Monday.
"This action is being taken after numerous reports that new quarters will not work in parking meters, toll booths, vending machines,
pay phones, or other coin-operated devices."
The quarters were issued in the order in which the various states joined the U.S. and have been a tremendous success among coin collectors worldwide.
"The problem lies in the unique design of the West Virginia quarter," Shackleford said. "Apparently, the duct tape holding the two dimes and the nickel together keeps jamming the coin-operated devices."

living just south of these delightful folk, i and my family appreciated this! thanks for the chuckle!!!

I heard the same joke, but it was about M*ch*g*n. Being a dyed-in-the-wool Ohio State Buckeye, I appreciated it very much.

The problem with the Michigan quarter is because they let some Yooper design it. I'm surprised they didn't try to tape 5 nickels together.

On a related note, that MI quarter has got to be the most boring quarter relased yet. Personally, I think they should have put a Model T on it, or at least a frickin mosquito! No, instead they just put a picture of the state. Oooh, it's just reaking with originality.
