ALABAMA QUARTER BEING RECALLED
The United States Treasury has announced they are recalling the new Alabama quarters.
"We are recalling all of the new Alabama quarters that were recently issued," Treasury Undersecretary Russell Shackelford said in a press conference Monday.
"This comes in the wake of numerous reports to this agency that the quarters will not work in parking meters, toll booths, vending machines, pay phones, or other coin-operated devices."
"We believe the problem lies in a design flaw," said Skackelford. The winning design for the Alabama quarter was submitted by Auburn University student William Doutrieux. "Apparently, the duct tape holding the two dimes and nickel together keeps jamming the coin-operated devices."
