It's part of the American Women Quarters Program which will stamp circulating quarters with the faces of women who have made "significant contributions to the US," according to the U.S. Mint. The first two women chosen are Maya Angelou and astronaut Dr. Sally Ride. The women chosen as honorees may come from a wide spectrum of fields including suffrage, civil rights, abolition, government, humanities, science, space, and the arts. The women honored will come from ethnically, racially, and geographically diverse backgrounds.
