S Treasury announced today that it is recalling all of the "Lone Star", 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, tollbooths, vending machines, pay phones, or other coin-operated devices. The problem lies in the unique design of the Texas quarter, which was created by an Española native and UTEP graduate, Shackleford said. "Apparently, the duct tape holding the two dimes and the nickel together keeps jamming the coin-operated devices." Mike I love you, Shannon and Jim.
