Maya Angelou becomes first Black woman to appear on US quarter as Treasury begins distribution - CNNPolitics

Washington (CNN)A new US quarter featuring the late Maya Angelou went into circulation Monday, the US Mint announced, making the legendary poet and activist the first Black woman ever to appear on the coin.

The Maya Angelou quarter is the first in the American Women Quarters Program, which will include coins featuring prominent women in American history. Other quarters in the series will begin rolling out later this year and through 2025, the Mint said in a release on Monday.
"Each time we redesign our currency, we have the chance to say something about our country -- what we value, and how we've progressed as a society," Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said in a separate statement. "I'm very proud that these coins celebrate the contributions of some of America's most remarkable women, including Maya Angelou."

What happened to Harriet on the $20?

Trump admin halted it, and Biden admin said they were going to do it, but it takes time because bills need the anti counterfeit features and it takes time to design
