WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Hang on to any of the new State of Idaho quarters if
you can get them.  They may wind up being worth much more than their
face value of 25 cents.  Why?  Because the U.S.Treasury announced today
that it is recalling all of the Idaho quarters which are part of its
program featuring quarters commemorating each state of the Union and its
year of admission.  "We are recalling all the new Idaho quarters that
were ecently irssued", Treasury Under secretary Jack Shackleford said
Monday. "This action is being taken after numerous reports that the new
Idaho quarters will not work in parking meters, vending machines, pay
phones, or other coin-operated devices.  "The problem lies in the unique
design of the Idaho quarter, which was created by a Boise State
University graduate who was nominated by several members of the Idaho
Board of Education", Shackleford said.  "Apparently, the duct tape
holding the two dimes and nickel together keeps jamming the
coin-operated devices."  Members of the State Board were unavailable for
comment.
