Design Flaw in Arkansas Quarters:

The United States Treasury has announced they are recalling the new "Arkansas" quarters.

"We are recalling all of the new Arkansas quarters that were recently issued," Treasury Undersecretary Russell Shackelford said in a press conference Monday.

"This comes in the wake of numerous reports to this agency that the quarters will not work in parking meters, toll booths, vending machines, pay phones, or other coin-operated devices. We believe the problem lies in a design flaw," said Skackelford.

The winning design for the Arkansas quarter was submitted by Arkansas University student, William Mattox.

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