American Women Quarters™ Program

In late 2020, Congress passed legislation (P.L. 116-330, signed into law on January 13, 2021) directing the U.S. Mint to consult with the National Women's History Museum, as well as the Smithsonian Institution American Women’s History Initiative and the Bipartisan Women’s Caucus, to identify prominent American women to honor on a series of quarter dollars over the next four years.

These trailblazing women will be featured on circulating and numismatic American Women Quarters™ Program coins beginning in January 2022.  The public was invited to submit recommendations through a web portal hosted by the National Women's History Museum; more than 11,000 recommendations were submitted for consideration.
