I am super excited to announce that the mint released the winning designs for the 2023 women quarters just three days ago. Starting with Bessie Coleman, an African American U.S. pilot who was a big pioneer. The date 6.15.1921 on the coin is when Bessie Coleman earned her pilots license,  making her the first African American women to get their pilots license. Jovita Idar, on the second design, was a Mexican American activist who wanted Mexican Americans to be more respected and to have a better future. The design features her clothing made out of words including: "MEXICAN AMERICAN RIGHTS" and "JOURNALIST", and of course "QUARTER DOLLAR" and "E PLURIBUS UNUM". There is also Edith Kanaka'ole, whose hair in the design flows into the Hawaiian land. She preserved and taught Hawaiian culture. Then there's Eleanor Roosevelt fought for social justice and human rights. The coin states "UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS" which she helped create. Human Rights are right people say everyone should have here's the list of them: https://www.un.org/en/about-us/universal-declaration-of-human-rights. Finally there's Maria Tallchief a Native American ballerina. On the design it shows her name written in Osage orthography which translates to "Two Standards". 

The next thing I wanted to show show you were the new Innovation dollars. The designs feature Vermont which represents snowboarding with a snowboarder, Kentucky which represents bluegrass music with a bluegrass guitar, Tennessee which represents the Tennessee Valley Authority with a view of the countryside, and Rhode Island which represents nautical innovation with a sailboat.  I thought these designs were pretty cool. Speaking of new coins, my birthday is tomorrow so I will hope to get a coin for my birthday.

Thanks for reading my blog and have a great day!
