Greetings,

It seems that the US Treasury has announced they are recalling the new Texas quarters.

"We are recalling all of the new Texas quarters that were recently issued," Treasury Undersecretary Russell Shackelford said in a press conference Monday.  "This comes in the wake of numerous reports to this agency that the quarters will not work in parking meters, toll booths, vending machines, pay phones, or other coin-operated devices."

The winning design for the quarter was submitted by Texas A & M student, William Doutrieux.

"We believe the problem lies in a small design flaw," said Shackelford.  "Apparently, the duct tape holding the two dimes and nickel together keep jamming the coin-operated devices."

Wow!  Could this be true??  :-D

God bless,

Dave

No, Dave, it's not true...but it is funny!  I have to wait another 2 years for my state's quarter to come out since we were not admitted to the Union until 1912!  They are going in chronological order.  Arizona was the 48th state to be admitted to the Union, which leaves only Alaska and Hawaii after us.

Hi Kate,

Thanks for the interesting facts.  It is most interesting that Texas very nearly was a separate country, and that its inhabitants were referred to as Texicans. (Not Texans, as they are now.)

It will be most interesting to see the real coin when it does come out.  I'm sure it will do justice to Texas' proud heritage.

God bless,

Dave

Perhaps super glue would be a solution! :-) I love it!
