Hot Off The Press!

"Be kind - everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle"

This just in, courtesy of Dale Chasse:

Hang on to any of the new Maine 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 Maine 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 Maine quarter, which was
designed by a team of Aroostook County specialists. Apparently the duct
tape holding the two dimes and the nickel together keeps jamming up the
machines.
