Little Rock, Ar. - The US Department of Treasury along with the Department of Weights and Measures are investigating claims that the US quarter which honors the state of Arkansas is apparently jamming soda and snack machines all across the United States. Government officials are currently conducting tests to see if they are weighted improperly and their results are due out by the end of the month. One Arkansas Senator was quoted as saying, "I jest don't understand? We used a fresh piece of duct tape while putting togther the two dimes and a nickel!"
