West Virginia Quarter Recall <br /><br />WASHINGTON,D.C. -- Hang on to any of the new State of West Virginia quarters. If you have them, they may be worth much more than 25 cents. <br /><br />The U.S. Treasury announced today that it is recalling all of the West Virginia quarters that are part of its program featuring quarters from each state. <br /><br />"We are recalling all the new West Virginia quarters that were recently issued," Treasury Undersecretary Jack Shackleford said Monday. <br />"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." <br /><br />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 <br />worldwide. <br /><br />"The problem lies in the unique design of the West Virginia quarter," Shackleford said. "Apparently, the duct tape holding the two dimes and the nickel together keeps jamming the coin-operated devices."
