<p>[QUOTE=&quot;andrew289, post: 563539, member: 6463&quot;]I was both surprised and dissappointed by your post. Duke Ellington made a tremendous contribution to music in the United States and I think he was well deserving of being featured to represent the District of Columbia on the quarter.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Washington is more than just monuments to dead presidents and blooming blossoms, it&#039;s also home to living breathing individuals.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Why do you think it would only be permitted to honor individuals on state quarters and not on territory quarters? Are territories insignificant, in your opinion, because they are &quot;only&quot; territories? Do the citizens of territories mean any less to society that those living in a state? </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Thankfully your hopes where not realized and instead of iconic cliches (I mean how much money does Washington or Jefferson really need to be on?), we honor one who is more often overlooked.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
