"We are recalling all the new Oklahoma 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 quarters were issued in the order in which the various states joined the U. S. and have been a tremendous success among coin collectors worldwide.
"The problem lies in the unique design of the Oklahoma quarter, which was created by a University of Oklahoma (OU) graduate,” Shackleford said. "Apparently, the duct tape holding the two dimes and the nickel together keeps jamming the coin-operated devices."
