The first two of 20 honorees for the circulating and commemorative American Women Quarters Program will be astronaut Dr. Sally Ride and famed writer Maya Angelou.

The program, authorized under Public Law 116-330, calls for up to five quarter dollars to be released annually from 2022 through 2025 with reverse designs reflecting achievements of prominent American women. A design for the series’ common obverse is not yet confirmed.

The Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee was set for an April 20 review of proposed obverse designs and the Ride and Angelou reverses. The Commission of Fine Arts was to review the same designs April 15.
