See my post #17....
Who even looks at what’s on 25 cents anymore
Looks like two of the worst that I’ve seen. I hope whoever decides these things has better taste than that.
... and a quarter is two bits!
The obverse (heads) depicts a portrait of George Washington, originally composed and sculpted by Laura Gardin Fraser to mark George Washington’s 200th birthday. A recommended design for the 1932 quarter, then-Treasury Secretary Mellon ultimately selected the familiar John Flannigan design.
The reverse (tails) depicts Maya Angelou with her arms uplifted. Behind her are a bird in flight and a rising sun, images inspired by her poetry and symbolic of the way she lived.
Anna May Wong is a forgotten 1940’s second tier film star featured in wartime propaganda movies about the same level of performer as Victor Shen Yang of ‘Maline tonight you die’ game.

Oh, I think it already has traction. They’ll find a way to start supplanting all the dead white guys on our currency next, one inch at a time. Libs don’t stop until they own all the toys, and even then, they’re still not satisfied.

Yeah, that would be me. A few books have been filling up since 1999. Nothing over the top - just good looking circulated stuff. Have gone through many, many rolls which has resulted in a pretty decent collection. Amoungst the usual P and D minted versions, I've also run across a few very cool looking S coins minted in San Francisco. Scored my first W coin pressed in West Point. Kinda rare, they say.
The S coin - very slick and shiny on all the flat surfaces -
