Washington DC - The United States Treasury announced today that they are recalling the recently issued Oklahoma quarters.

“We are recalling all of the new Oklahoma 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.”

The winning design for the Oklahoma quarter was submitted by Oklahoma University student Ralph Billingsly.

“We believe the problem lies in a design flaw,” said Shackelford. “Apparently, the duct tape holding the two dimes and nickel together keeps jamming the coin-operated devices.”

I was worried there for a moment… I thought Walden might have been evicted.

Me, too. :slight_smile:

Walden will be happy to know this.


OOOOOOOOK-la homa where the wind comes sweeping down the plain.

Refreshing not to have a sudden soapbox for offended Oklahomans…

Well, I, for one, am infuriated by this insulting stereotype!!!

Oh…wait… Darn! :blush:

The first parking meters were in Oklahoma, though parking is now free for the most part.


It’s probably part of a sinister plot to sell more Pike Passes

Oklahoma’s not up for a state quarter for a few years yet.

Nonsense. Our quarters consist of a twenty-two shell and three pennies.

But wait! Aren’t they to be afforded the same respect as the Irish? :smiley:

13

And deserve it every bit as much.

(Hey! What does he mean by that? :astonished: )

14

With or without the duct tape? (I didn’t know Oklahomans could do that kind of sophisticated math.)

15

Hmmm.. gives new meaning to the term “give no quarter”… and “two bits”… and … oh… nevermind…

:slight_smile:

16

We do everthang with duct tape. Even patched up the shield on the state flag.

17

Say, speaking of flags… you know they do have green duct tape…

18

I’ve seen it in a bunch of colors, not just green and gray.

19

Of course, but the nwely formed Republic of West Ozarkia’s flag is Green, with green, and green… :slight_smile:

Oh! Shows how much I know (actually, I think I knew that)!
