Hang on to any of the new Newfoundland Quarters. If you have them, they may be worth more than 25 cents.
The Royal Canadian Mint announced today that is recalling all of the Newfoundland quarters that are part of it's programme 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 Newfoundland quarter, which was designed by a team of Newfies. Apparently the duct tape holding the two dimes and the nickel together keeps jamming up the machines.
Help for Brits:
Duct tape is a very strong tape that is used for sticking anything to anything.
A dime is 10 cents a nickel is 5 cents and a quarter is 25 cents.
10+10+5 = 25
Well, It's funny for us Canucks.
