D.C. residents have decided to put the glowing visage of Duke Ellington, who was born in the district, on the city's new quarter. What's on Georgia's 25 cent piece? A peach. I know we're a state, so we beat D.C. just on principle, but a peach is a bit boring, methinks.
What swing-era personage should replace the peach on our quarter? Fletcher Henderson, who hails from Randolph County? Albany's own Harry James?
Thoughts are encouraged.

Look, Idaho's quarter features a peregrine falcon, which isn't even the state bird. At least we're the peach state! (So what if we grow more peanuts?)
That said, I'll ponder who would best represent us here in GA.
Definitely Fletcher Henderson.
No mention of Strayhorn in the CNN article. F-plus.
