Denver coins have a D on them? Interesting

On US currency, coins have a small letter on them to indicate what city they were minted in. Only 4 cities in the US currently mint coins with Denver being the largest of them, the 4th one not mentioned on this quiz is West Point

Historically there have been others as well, though none of them are currently still minting coins. These include C for Charlotte South Carolina, CC for Carson City Nevada, D for Dahlonega Georgia, O for New Orleans. Also prior to 1979, no coin minted in the Philadelphia mint contained the P, and pennies produced there only had the P for 2017 coins.

3 questions about things outside of Denver (4 if you count the mountain range), and 1 question about someone who has nothing to do with the city besides his name. If I was a Denver resident I'd be a bit miffed.

Remember, John Denver (real name Henry John Deutchendorf, Jr.) took his stage name from the city, borne out of his love for the Rockies and the area. It's wasn't just a coincidence.

That's a common misconception--or at at least an oversimplification, owing to Denver's love of nature and the Rockies, which he mostly developed after choosing his stage name. He wanted to keep his actual last name, Deutschendorf, but his promoters were already concerned that his music was too "square" to catch on, and that a weird German name would kill any appeal he had left. So they pushed him to change it. The most common (but not definite) version of his picking "Denver" is that his friend Randy Sparks had just written a song called "Denver" that John liked, and Randy told him it would make a good stage name. Because John liked nature, he accepted it. But he hadn't spent much time in Colorado by that point (that came later), and it wasn't like he was clamoring for the name. He changed his name begrudgingly, and just thought "Denver" was less objectionable than the other names proposed.

Maybe we should make easy versions of these quizzes.

What state is Denver the capital of? What county is Denver in?

Not sure I would classify county as easy.

If by "county" you mean "country", that's about right. And then perhaps the next question could be "what planet is Denver on?" I think I could have a good stab at that

After a recent personal renaissance of interest in the music I grew up with, I was considering making a quiz about John Denver's music. I know it would be pretty niche. The generation of people who would know anything are already dying. I guess people are at least aware of his existence still.

I take issue with your characterization of the generation that knew John Denver. I saw him live in concert when I was in college. I am 67, not like 80s or something. Hopefully not dying soon.
