Newfoundland Quarters

(CP)

Hang on to any of the new Newfoundland Commemorative quarters you may have.

If you have them, they may be worth much more than 25 cents. The Winnipeg Mint announced today that it is recalling all of the Newfoundland quarters that are part of its program featuring quarters from each Province.

"We are recalling all the new quarters that were recently issued," Treasury Minister Reg Alcock said Thursday. 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 other coin-operated devices.

"The problem lies in the unique design of the quarter, which was created by a Memorial University of Newfoundland graduate," Alcock said.
Apparently, the duct tape holding the two dimes and the nickel together keeps jamming the coin-operated devices.

I never noticed, but I will keep my eyes open. Thanks for the heads up.

I knew there was a punch in there somewhere!

tooo funny!

Ten you ****in smart ass

Hook, line and sinker!

how much more than 25 cents are the quarters worth?

it is hard too tell. also do you mean insurance value what you can get for it(very random) and also store bought value. after that come the condition of the coin and many other things.

o ya you would kno u r a coin collector do u have many

no i don't think i do. i am not sure though i have one of each province but i do not think that those are the same coins. also i think he meant they will bbe worth a good bit when they are mostly of the market.

also i am not a coin collector anymore but i still have the stuff. also i would have learned that much from the antic road show i watch sometimes

Hey..ehm..alex, if you are a lawyer, how come you can't spell something fishy going on around here :P

he is obviouly lying. I do it all the time in this kind of place(though he could have just not filled in the information like i did instead of lying). for example i normaly say i llive
on 10003 145 summerset Ave new york city. (the postal code is real). and my name is bob dole.

uh huh...interesting...don't think you could bait a cod with that one tho

ya i am not really a lawyer I lie alot on this kind of thing my address is 123 fake street

pssst...alex...that was clear right from da start

ya so if it was than why did you post the question it is odvious i am not a lawyer

I'm not a lawyer either.

Well I asked alex, because I wondered why you would LIE about something that clearly was not true.

If I was a lawyer, I'd have to wear a tie. I couldn't possibly be a lawyer.

Hey! It's just for a laugh.Us Newfies know how to laugh at the best of Newfie jokes,and tell them quite often ourselves,by'.
