New US quarter depicts Maya Angelou
Maya Angelou has become the first Black woman to have her likeness depicted on the quarter. Theyesterday that they will release up to five new quarters per year to celebrate distinguished American women. It’s about time. Women have long been absent from U.S. currency, and this absence sends a strong message to children about who can be a leader.
The women will appear on the tails side of the coin, and George Washington will still appear on the heads side. In fact, no women appear on the primary side of any coins that the U.S. mint considers to be. In the past, rarely used silver dollars featuring suffragist Susan B. Anthony were released in 1979, and a dollar coin with Sacagawea was also produced. In addition, in 2003, a Helen Keller quarter was released.
