Hang on to any of the new Missouri Quarters. If you have them, they may be worth much more than 25 cents.
The US Mint announced today that it is recalling all of the Missouri 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 Missouri quarter, which was designed by a team of Ozark specialists. Apparently the duct tape holding the two dimes and the nickel together keeps jamming up the machines.

that is so funny! I know we had some problems with our new toonies when they first came out, people were popping out the middle section - not sure if they fixed it or if they were really hard to pop out & they didn,t recall them
