The concepts for D.C.’s quarter submitted to the U.S. Mint include famous names, maps of the city, a flag and one common theme: Taxation Without Representation.

A committee of D.C. residents fixed on three ideas for the 25-cent piece, slated for circulation in 2009. The narratives, which will be transformed into designs by U.S. Mint artists, were submitted to Mint Director Edmund Moy on Monday.
