The&nbsp; U.S. </p><p>Treasury announced today that it is recalling all of the Texas quarters that are part of its program featuring quarters from each state. </p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;We are recalling all the new Texas quarters that were recently issued,&quot; Treasury Undersecretary Jack Shackleford said Monday. &quot;This action is being taken after numerous reports that new quarters will not work in parking meters, toll booths, vending machines, pay phones, or other coin-operated devices.&quot; </p><p><br /></p><p>The quarters were issued in the order in which the various states joined the U.S. and have been a tremendous success among coin collectors worldwide. </p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;The problem lies in the unique design of the Texas quarter, which was created by a Texas A&amp;M graduate,&quot; Shackleford said. </p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;Apparently, the duct tape holding the two dimes and the nickel together keeps jamming the coin-operated devices.&quot;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
