Had to share this.  From the Vandal Venue board:  Idaho Quarters!

Hang on to any of the new State of Idaho quarters. If you have them, they 
may be worth much more than 25 cents. The U.S. Treasury announced today that 
it is recalling all of the Idaho quarters that are part of its program 
featuring quarters from each state. "We are recalling all the new Idaho 
quarters that were recently issued, "Treasury Undersecretary Jack 
Shackleford said Monday. "This action is being taken after numerous reports 
that the new quarters will not work in parking meters, toll booths, 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," Shackleford said. 
"Apparently, the duct tape holding the two dimes and the nickel together 
keeps jamming the coin-operated devices."
