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. This action is being taken after numerous reports that the new quarters will not work in parking meters, toll boopths, vending machines, pay phones or any other coi8n operated device. The problem lies in the unique design of the Newfoundland quarter, which was designed by a team of Newfoundlanders. Apparently the Duct tape holding the two dimes and the nickel together keeps jammin up the machines.
Apparently there were a few of those minted in the US as well. There are always problems with the vending machines where I work. And here we thought it was the machines, not the coins. Ha! It is nice to see the spirit of laughter in your posts after the posts previously. Hope that everything is going well with the son. Wanda
