Kennedy Quarters Feature Cardinal Washington Coins
AP reports odd Kennedy quarters circulating nationwide mock Washington as a Roman Catholic cardinal. Coins are standard 25 cent pieces altered with red enamel or red tape, sometimes with a red zucchetto and cassock to resemble a prelate. Mint officials have no evidence of broader intent behind the prank.

Doctored Kennedy quarters spark minting concerns
Leland Howard of the Bureau of the Mint warns Treasury lawyers find no federal law banning coin trickery that impersonates Kennedy on circulating quarters. Banks may refuse or withdraw the altered coins, then input them for recoining, costing about 4 mint and creating trouble. Recoining 1,000 quarters costs roughly $2.25 per thousand, he notes, making scraping paint less viable.
