The U. S. Treasury announced today that it is recalling all of the Montana quarters that are part of its program featuring quarters from each state.
"We are recalling all the new Montana quarters that were recently issued," Treasury Undersecretary Jack Shackleford said Monday.
"This action is being taken after numerous reports that the new quarters will not work in parking meters, vending machines, pay phones or other coin-operated devices."
Shackleford said the problem lies in the unique design of the Montana quarter, which was created by a recent graduate of Montana State University in Bozeman.
Apparently, the duct tape holding the two dimes and the nickel together keeps jamming the coin-operated devices
