Reply to comment by rivieredefeu in TIL about Anna May Wong, the first Chinese-American film star. Her career began in silent movies era and continued to her death. One of the first to adopt the flapper style of the 20s, she was voted “world’s best dressed woman” in 1934. She will be featured in the American Women quarter series. by ActuallyCausal

My bad! Yes, this is US based because I forgot other countries can participate.

We just launched a new series of quarters highlighting historic females. Anna May Wong is the first. Maya Angelou and Dr Sally Ride are coming up next. The first Indigenous American female chief (I forget the tribe) and one more female will be featured.

Maya Angelou and Sally Ride were already minted. I think the Native American Chief was also minted and Anna May Wong is the last one for this year. They’ll mint more women every fiscal quarter for the next 4 years

Unless you work for the US Mint, saying "we just launched a new theory of quarters" is incorrect.

I live near a US mint. Does that count?

Considering you didn't even get my quote right, I don't give a fuck.
