Subject: SPECIAL NOTICE


RECALL BULLETIN

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Hang on to any of the new State of Texas quarters. If

you have them, they may be worth much more than 25 cents. The U.S. Treasury

announced today that it is recalling all of the Texas quarters that are

part of its program featuring quarters from each state.

"We are recalling all the new Texas quarters that were recently issued,"

Treasury Undersecretary Jack Shackleford said Monday. "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 quarters were issued in the order in which the various states joined

the U.S. and have been a tremendous success among coin collectors worldwide.

"The problem lies in the unique design of the Texas quarter, which was

created by a Texas A&M graduate," Shackleford said. "Apparently, the duct

tape holding the two dimes and the nickel together keeps jamming the

coin-operated devices.

4. TAMU engineering, sinking one United Spirit Arena at a time!
hahahahahahaha. When they (A&M school of Architecture) designed the new arena at Texas Tech, they forgot to calculate the weight of the people in the seats, and it started sinking into the Lubbock sand right after it was completed!
