The U.S. Mint is expected to produce more than 300 million Wong quarters at facilities in Philadelphia.
The U.S. Mint's American Women Quarters Program celebrates five female trailblazers in American history each year between 2022 and 2025. Wong is featured on the fifth coin released this year. The U.S. Mint is expected to produce more than 300 million Wong quarters at facilities in Philadelphia and Denver.
B-List actress of the 30s, how brave
Mint Director Ventris Gibson called Wong "a courageous advocate who championed for increased representation and more multi-dimensional roles for Asian American actors."
No, she was a crybully who demanded more roles for herself in a foreign country. Imagine European actors going to China and demanding “increased representation”….
The tail of the coins will show a close-up of Wong with her head resting on her hand, while the front will feature a portrait of George Washington created by 20th century sculptor Laura Gardin Fraser, who became the first woman to design a coin for the U.S. in 1921.

Who the fuck is Anna May Wong?
they are really trying to make Sessue Hayakawa disappear.
