Hey, I'm delighted that Duke Ellington will be on the Washington, D.C., version of the quarter. But one paragraph in the WaPo story (via) did irk me a bit:
The Treasury rejected the District's first batch of proposed designs, which featured slogans referring to the city's lack of a voting representative in Congress. The U.S. Mint said they would violate the coin program's rules against controversial messages.
Yeah, because we're all on board with "In God We Trust."
