Treasury Recall Notice re: the new Oklahoma quarter

Hang on to any of the new State of Oklahoma 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 Oklahoma quarters
that
are part of its program featuring quarters from each state.

"We are recalling all the new Oklahoma 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 Oklahoma quarter, which was created by a
Oklahoma University graduate," Shackleford said. "Apparently, the duct tape holding
the two
dimes and the nickel together keeps jamming the coin-operated devices."

You had me there!

That was a GOOD one!

Geez, I was getting all excited thinking about the 50 dollars worth of quarters I have rolled here....

And this is from a fellow Okie!!!

PEPPER....I was all inthralled in reading that...yep...from another fellow Okie..

Hey Vanessa! I could have changed it to say Arkansas Quarter, but I was born there! And Jimmy lives in Texas, so I couldn't change it to Texas, so I left it the way I seen it!

Well I an a transplant to Oklahoma, born, raised, and lived 35 years in Kansas.

My wife was born in Norman OK.

Excellent!!!

I never thought about making it about Kansas!

Well you would have to rephase it. In Kansas we would NEVER 2 dimes and a nickel.

We would use 5 nickles!!!

darn! you really had me going for a minute! I thought I had something to tell my mom! (she collects the state quarters )
