Hang on to any of the new Arizona 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 Arizona 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 Arizona quarter, which was designed by a team of Mexican professors at ASU. Apparently, the duct tape holding the two dimes and the nickel together keeps jamming up the machines.
