WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Hang on to any of the new State of Oregon 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 Oregon quarters that are part of its program featuring quarters from each state."
"We are recalling all the new Oregon quarters that were recently issued," Treasury Undersecretary Jack Shackleford said Friday. "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 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.
Well, at least we've got fish in our rivers ... even if we can't buy a candy bar in a coin op. machine.
