Excellent, it's about time!

What's a quarter?

What's a quarter?

A quarter is 25 of those bits of metal making it possible for stores to imply you're not paying $5 for a item priced at 4.99

​

Well at least they didn't consign women to that 1c coin. We made Abraham LIncoln sit still for that honor.

Oh! It's that thing I used almost exclusively in laundry machines until about a decade ago. Man, those things were nuts.

Yay!!!!! Looking forward to having shiny new quarters with Maya Angelou's likeness! Brilliant, brilliant woman and brilliant writer......

Also, I hear that when you get one, you're supposed to bite down on them to find out if they're real or not.

There was a Steven Wright movie they used to run on IFC (maybe still do) where he played a civil war soldier on the train to the afterlife. “Walking through the forest, I came upon Abe Lincoln sitting on a stump, weeping. I asked him, 'what are you so sad about?' He replied, 'I just found out I am going to be on the penny.'”

That's wonderful, I can think of no finer choice.

Nice to see another woman given the honor of appearing on US money.

However, I'd like to make an additional suggestion. Since the other side loves to trigger the libs, I propose that in retaliation we put Hillary Clinton on the ten dollar bill.
