Starting on Monday, Chinese American movie star Anna May Wong will appear on the reverse side of the quarter, as part of the American Women Quarters Program. Wong, who died in 1961, will be the fifth woman honored this year, following poet Maya Angelou, astronaut Sally Ride, Cherokee Nation leader Wilma Mankiller, and suffragist Nina Otero-Warren. Wong challenged racism and discrimination from the movie industry but gained international fame in Hollywood and Europe. The American Women Quarters Program is a four-year initiative, overseen by the United States Mint, that started in 2022. The quarters highlight women who have contributed to the development and history of the country through their work in fields like suffrage, civil rights, abolition, government, humanities, science, space, and the arts. The US Mint will release five new coins in the series each year. Read more at the link in our bio. Story by Sarah Belle Lin. (Credit: Getty; United States Mint)
