The United States Treasury has announced they are recalling the new �
Minnesota quarters.

"We are recalling all of the new Minnesota 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 Minnesota quarter was submitted by Sven �Petersen 
and Ole Johnson of Hibbing, Minnesota. �Sven commented, �"Apparently, the duct 
tape holding the two dimes and nickel together keeps �jamming the 
coin-operated �devices."
