Beginning in 2022, women’s faces will circulate through the nation’s currency on quarters - something long overdue, according to Rep. Barbara Lee, a California Democrat who has been working on this legislation since 2017.
“I wanted to make sure that women would be honored, and their images and names be lifted up on our coins. I mean, it’s outrageous that we haven’t,” Lee said. “Hopefully the public really delves into who these women were, because these women have made such a contribution to our country in so many ways.”
Maya Angelou (April 4, 1928 – May 28, 2014)
Dr. Sally Ride (May 26, 1951 – July 23, 2012)
Wilma Mankiller (November 18, 1945 – April 6, 2010)
Adelina Otero-Warren (October 23, 1881 – January 3, 1965)
Anna May Wong (January 3, 1905 – February 3, 1961)

Wilma Mankiller
Charlize THeron was brilliant in that movie.
By then a quarter will be worth about what a penny was when I was a kid.
Congrats, girls!
This just cheapens the honor of being on currency. Because of the women they selected.
Thanks to Brandon, quarters are useless.
Sure...might as well just sell space on the coinage...
I mean cmon...Maya Angelou???
Really?
Washington, Lincoln, Jefferson, ::coughcough::FDR, and Maya Angelou.
Not what our money is for...
I am generally leery whenever the state issues new money.
When I put one of those quarters down on the counter I’ll finally be able to say “I’ve got that broad under my thumb!“
The Maya Angelou coin is attractive.
"Fun Fact: Otero-Warren’s ranch, where she lived with her friend, Mamie Meadors, was called “Las Dos.”
Pia Zadora wasn’t available?
Meh. Does anyone even get change number?
Oh. by the way sally ride came out as a lesbo.
How about AOC holding a tray of drinks on the two-bit piece?
She was never that slim.
What movie????
Wilma Mankiller was a Principle Chief on the Cherokee Nation...
Also, “Cherokee” is the white man’s way of saying the name given the tribe the Muscogee Creek tribe which is “Tsalagi”...
The actual, old name for the tribe is Ani Yun Wiya, which means “principle people”
Those are the most sterile-looking, butt-ugly coin currency the U.S. Mint will have ever produced. We need to go back to the days of the old Walking Liberty halves and Barber quarters. Now, they had ‘curb appeal’.
The list starts off with a prostitute and then flows with a lesbo... winner what the rest of the list holds? Probably a communist, an abortionist and an illegal alien.
Unreal
