The US Mint has announced the next five women to appear on American quarters. After honoring such figures as Maya Angelou and Sally Ride in the first run of its American Women Quarters Program, the agency has selected a new group of pioneering women who will be celebrated on US currency: pilot Bessie Coleman, journalist and activist Jovita Idár, hula teacher Edith Kanakaʻole, former first lady Eleanor Roosevelt and ballerina Maria Tallchief.
