African American poet Maya Angelou on a quarter dollar

(ANSA) – Washington, Jan. 11 – The doll of African-American poet and activist Maya Angelou has appeared on a new quarter dollar, the popular 25-cent coin, the most widely used currency in the United States. These are not collector’s items but rather pieces that American Mint will mass produce for everyday use. It’s the result of a congressional vote at the end of 2020, at the suggestion of California Representative Dame Barbara Lee, to celebrate illustrious American women of various origins.

It will be followed by astronaut and physicist Sally Redeem Wilma Mankiller, the first Native American to lead the Cherokee nation, Hispanic politician and militant Nina Otero Warren, and actress Anna Mae Wong, the first Asian-born Hollywood star.

The Quarter has had rare alternate copies since 1932: a series of 50 pieces representing the same number of US states, in the beginning of the 2000s, and national parks and sites, from 2010 to 2021. The coin will remain on one side a portrait of the first American president , George Washington. (Dealing).
