The United States Treasury has announced they are recalling the new  
Minnesota quarters.

"We are recalling all of the new Minnesota 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.  We believe the  problem lies in a design 
flaw," said Skackelford.

The winning design for the Minnesota quarter was submitted by Sven  Petersen 
and Ole Johnson of Hibbing, Minnesota.  Sven commented,  "Apparently, the duct 
tape holding the two dimes and nickel together keeps  jamming the 
coin-operated  devices."
