Anna May Wong One Of 5 Women To Grace U.S. Quarters

She is the first Asian American movie star and is commemorated as one of the great actresses of the Golden Age of film.

The next time you pick up a quarter this year, you'll see a prominent American woman.  

"It is a celebration," U.S. Mint Deputy Director Ventris Gibson said. "It's a unique opportunity that we have now in this day and time to honor such a diverse group of women." 

This year, the American Women Quarters Program celebrates five distinguished women. Maya Angelou is one of them, but have you heard of Anna May Wong?
