    RECALL NOTICE: Minnesota State Quarters

     



    MINNESOTA QUARTERS ALERT (IMPORTANT)...Hang on to any of the new Minnesota Quarters you may have or acquire. They may be worth MUCH MORE than 25 cents! The US Mint announced today that it is recalling all of the Minnesota 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, toll booths, vending machines, pay phones or any other coin operated devices. The problem lies in the unique design of the Minnesota quarter, which was designed by a couple of Norwegian specialists, Sven and Ole. Apparently the duct tape holding the two dimes and the nickel together keeps jamming up the machines.

    I heard Sven and Ole are very unhappy with you,they plan on punishing you by force feeding you lutefisk.

    Well they better get them fixed and soon, because the way the economy is going they may be the only thing we have left to spend.

    Sounds like adage that you can fix everything with WD-40 or Duct tape.

    If it doesn't move and it's supposed to, use WD-40. If it moves and it's not supposed to, use duct tape.

    The corrolary is if you can't fix it with a hammer, it's an electrical problem

    Of course, that's just my opinion, I could be wrong!

    you can fix everything with WD-40 or Duct tape . . .
    That's it - WD-40 the duck tape.
