west virginia quarters

hang on to any of the new west virginia quarters, if you have them. they may be worth much more than 25 cents. the u.s. mint announced today that it is recalling all of the west virginia 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, tollbooths, vending machines, pay phones, or any other coin operated device. the problem lies in the unique design of the west virginia quarter, which was designed by a team of west virginians. apparently the duct tape holding the two dimes and the nickel together keeps jamming the machines.
