Today, The District of Columbia takes its rightful place with the rest of the 50 states, with a Brand New Quarter that hits the streets today. You can get rolls of them at mint quality via the link above, or also get whole bags of them via the Mint for a slight markup. You can also choose which mint they’ll come from (Philadelphia or Denver) which is great for all you numismatists out there.
I’m headed to the bank here shortly, I’ll see if I can do a little better than line drawing.
I live and work in the District of Columbia. I write at We Love DC, a blog I helped start, I work at Technolutionary, a company I helped start, and I’m happy doing both. I enjoy watching baseball, cooking, and gardening. I grow a mean pepper, keep a clean scorebook, and wash the dishes when I’m done. Read Why I Love DC.
Can we bring this with us when making the argument for DC statehood to congress? I’m thinking it will go something like this: “We have a state quarter, now make us an actual state, you jerks.”
