U.S Mint announced it has begun shipping out the first quarters featuring trailblazing American women, beginning with poet, writer and activist Maya Angelou, the first Black woman to appear on the quarter.
Part of the American Women Quarters Program, the Angelou coin is one of four expected to be shipped this year through 2025. George Washington's likeness remain on one side, while the other will have the honored women. The women that will be featured include Wilma Mankiller, the Cherokee Nation’s first female principal chief, Anna May Wong, the first Chinese American Hollywood film star, Adelina Otero-Warren, a leader in New Mexico’s suffrage movement and Sally Ride, an astronaut and physicist who was the first American woman in space.
Great. Nonwhite women will be honored for contributing absolutely nothing to America.

Take a dremmel and grind her ugly mug off the coins. Then you can still spend them.
