Check your pockets and hang on to any of the recently issued State of Iowa 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 Iowa quarters
that are part of its program featuring quarters from each state.

"We are recalling all the State of Iowa Quarters that were recently
issued," Treasury Undersecretary Jack Shackleford said Monday. "This
action is being taken after numerous reports that the Iowa
Quarters will not work in parking meters, tollbooths, vending machines,
pay phones, or other coin-operated devices."

The problem is the unique design of the Iowa Quarter, which was
designed and created by Benny Hemelsbach, an Iowa farmer.

"Apparently, the duct tape holding the two dimes and the nickel together
keep jamming the coin-operated devices" said Shackleford.

I thought it was the Alabama state quarter they were recalling for that reason??

Amusing, but aren't there better states to insult with this one than Iowa. I'm not close enough to dislike them but I always thought they were smarter than the average Arkansan.

can we subsitute West Virginia for Iowa? LOL still pretty funny!

Arkansas has a much better state quarter than Iowa.


I just hope they don't recall the Louisiana quarter ...

trust me, I've had the pleasure of spending time in (Northwest) Arkansas and the misfortune of spending time in Iowa and this joke is definitely not misplaced

I must say that Larry's Louisiana quarter is the one I prefer

Those are fitting....

actually on the Pennsylvania quarter, the design on the back-- on a very rare batch-- is facing the same way as the head of the quarter, when its suppose to be reversed on back. These are suppose to be worth 1000's
