Newfoundland Quarters
Hang on to any of the new 2007 Newfoundland Quarters. If you have them; they may be worth much more than 25 cents. The Canadian Mint announced today that it is recalling all of the Newfoundland quarters that are part of its program featuring quarters from each province. 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 device. The problem lies in the unique design of the quarter, which was designed by a team of genuine Newfoundlanders.
Apparently the duct tape holding the two dimes and the nickel together keeps jamming the machines.

I hate, hate, HATE theme coins.
You can fix anything with duct tape.
salem you mean "dem" coins
pablo i doubt duct tape could fix you
no. I meant theme. If I have a mess of coins in my pocket, I want to see the feckin' caribou so I can pick out the quarter. I don't think they are doing anybody any great favour making them look like change from Guyana or Latvia in order to commemorate the invention of the flower pot or something.
End of rant.
um. did you guys forget to do something today?
I collect them thar quarterz
Sounds like someone was trying to copy the America on the coin thing.
Canada is so full of wanna-bees.
Not so fast!!
Canadian province quarters were first done in 1992.
US state quarters started 1999.
