U.S. Mint To Feature Women On Quarters

The US Mint plans to release quarters featuring iconic females over the next four years. Maya Angelou and Sally Ride will be the first women to appear on the reverse side of the coin, with George Washington remaining on the front. The coins are set to be released next year. The US Mint is inviting the public to suggest other deceased women to be featured on future coins.

What role does George Washington play in the new coin design?

How can the public participate in the selection of women for the coin?
