This is one of the cool products from the year that featured AMAZING people from our history.
"As a Member of Congress, the Honorable Patsy Takemoto Mink fought for gender and racial equality, affordable childcare, and bilingual education. Mink was the champion of Title IX legislation in Congress, prohibiting sex discrimination in any education program or activity receiving federal financial assistance. Title IX was posthumously renamed the Patsy T. Mink Equal Opportunity in Education Act.
The coin’s reverse depicts the Honorable Patsy Takemoto Mink holding her landmark “TITLE IX” legislation. In the background, a view of the Capitol Building prominently features the south wing, home to the House of Representatives, where Mink served in Congress. The lei she wears represents her home state of Hawaii. The included inscriptions are “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” “PATSY TAKEMOTO MINK,” “E PLURIBUS UNUM,” “25 CENTS,” and “EQUAL OPPORTUNITY IN EDUCATION.”
I will say that I think the head should have been the Statue of Liberty, or another picture of a woman on it, but it's still pretty cool that it's a part of the American Women Quarters program.
And yes - quarters are expensive.
