The U.S. Mint has begun shipping a new quarter featuring writer, poet, performer, social activist, and teacher Maya Angelou, who becomes the first Black woman to be featured on the quarter. Coins featuring additional honorees will begin shipping later this year and through 2025. The quarters are part of the American Women Quarters Program, with reverse (tails) designs emblematic of the accomplishments and contributions of trailblazing American women.
