PROPOSAL
This project aims to increase the visibility of Women's History Month by using the American Women Quarters™ Program to educate others on the significant, yet often overlooked, contributions of women to U.S. history and currency.
ISSUE
This project addresses the lack of female representation in history by using the American Women Quarters™ Program to educate the community on women’s rights and the true significance of Women’s History Month, ultimately empowering younger Girl Scouts through the stories of inspiring women.
American Women Quarters Program
The American Women Quarters Program was a four year initiative project that was sustained and created by the U.S. Mint. This project was authorized by the Circulating Collectible Coin Redesign Act of 2020 and its purpose was to honor women’s resiliency, legacy, and contributions. The duration of this program was from 2022-2025 and it celebrated the accomplishments and contributions to society of twenty influential women to American history. Each year five new unique quarters were released all with women from diverse backgrounds and fields, totaling to twenty quarters throughout 2022-2025.
