New Texas Quarters Recalled (Reuters)<br><br>The United States Treasury has announced they are recalling the new Texas<br>quarters.<br><br>“We are recalling all of the new Texas quarters that were recently issued,”<br>Treasury Undersecretary Russell Shackelford said in a press conference<br>Monday. “This comes in the wake of numerous reports to this agency that the<br>quarters will not work in parking meters, toll booths,vending machines, pay<br>phones, or other coin-operated devices.”<br><br>“We believe the problem lies in a design flaw,” said Skackelford. The<br>winning design for the Texas quarter was submitted by Texas A&amp;M student<br>William Doutrieux. “Apparently, the duct tape holding the two dimes and<br>nickel together keeps jamming the coin-operated devices.”<br><br>Bob Fisher, BSEE, Texas A&amp;M, 1971<br>Kalamazoo, Michigan<br>&quot;Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change<br>the world; it's the only thing that ever does&quot; Margaret Mead<br>
