Quarters
Hang on to any of the new Newfoundland quarters. If you have them,
they
may be worth much more than 25 cents. The Canadian Mint announced
today
that it is recalling all of the Newfoundland quarters that are part of
its program
featuring quarters from each province. "We are recalling all the new
Newfoundland quarters that were recently issued," Canadian Mint Deputy
Minister Jack Shackleford said Monday. "This action is being taken
after numerous reports that new quarters will not work in parking
meters, toll booths, vending machines,
pay phones, or other coin-operated devices." The quarters were issued
in the order in which the various provinces joined Confederation and
have been a tremendous success among coin collectors worldwide. "The
problem lies in the unique design of the Newfoundland quarter, which
was created by a team of Newfoundland natives," Shackleford said.
Apparently, the duct tape holding the two dimes and the
nickel together keeps jamming the coin-operated devices.
