Okay, let's see who knows Washington DC (my former home) and numismatics. It's not a hard question but it is involved.
Name all the Washington DC buildings, monuments and statutes that appear on US coins and commems. Name the building, monument, or statute and the coin or coins it appears on. The most correct answers wins.
