While Hubby is still waiting for a Hawaii quarter to round out his collection, the U.S. Mint has unveiled its new 25 cent piece for District of Columbia. It features Duke Ellington and Washington City's motto, "Justice for All".This coin is the first quarter for 2009 and kicks off the DC and U.S. Territories Quarters Program.
Duke Ellington is a fine choice not only because he was born in Washington but because jazz is THE true American art form.
Collectors can buy these in bulk online for now. There will be an event to celebrate this coin later.
Hmm . . . just when your folder was just about full!
