WASHINGTON, DC -- Hang on to any of the new West Virginia quarters if you have them, they may be worth much more than 25 cents. The US Treasury announced it is recalling all of the West Virginia quarters that are part of its program featuring quarters from each state. The quarters are being issued in the order in which the various states joined the US.

"We are recalling all the new West Virginia quarters that were recently issued," Treasury Undersecretary Jack Shackleford said Wednesday. "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."

"The problem lies in a design flaw," Shackleford said. The winning design was submitted by a Marshall University student.

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

In today's economy the duct tape is worth more than the coins it holds together...

First you have to upload them to a place like photobucket.com, mediafire.com, or a hosting place like that. Then after they're uploaded to that site, you copy the "sharing" link or just the actual link to the pics. Then you come back to your message and click on the "Img" button above, right click and select "paste", then click the "Img" button again. So now you should see something like this: Image. Hope that helps. Looks like you're from the opposite side of the state from me. Welcome to the forums here and have fun. Best of luck to ya!!! :twisted:
