~Texas Quarters~ (Plus: Today in history, Word for the day, Today’s horoscope, Maxine and 6 diff’s)

   The U.S.  Treasury announced today that it is recalling all of the Texas quarters that are part of its program featuring quarters from each state.

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