Prominent American Women Honored on the Reverse of Quarter-Dollar 
Coins--Request for Recommendations

AGENCY: United States Mint, Department of the Treasury.

ACTION: Request.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Circulating Collectible Coin Redesign Act of 2020 directs 
the Secretary of the Treasury (Secretary) to redesign and issue 
quarter-dollar coins that feature designs on the reverse emblematic of 
the accomplishments of a prominent American woman (Program). As part of 
the Program, each year, over a four-year period (2022-2025), the United 
States Mint (Mint) will issue quarter-dollar coins bearing up to five 
different reverse designs, each emblematic of the accomplishments and 
contributions of one prominent woman of the United States. The 
contributions may come from a wide spectrum of accomplishments and 
fields, including but not limited to suffrage, civil rights, abolition, 
government, humanities, science, space, and arts.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Secretary will select the women to be 
honored after soliciting recommendations from the general public, and 
in consultation with the Smithsonian Institution's American Women's 
History Initiative, the National Women's History Museum, and the 
Bipartisan Women's Caucus (Consultants). As the Act requires that the 
designs may not feature any living person, all of the women honored 
must be deceased.
    In accordance with the selection process developed by the 
Secretary, the public is now invited to submit recommended candidate 
honorees via the following web portal established by the National 
Women's History Museum: https://forms.gle/3BgR3BLbFfJ69XdYA.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: The United States Mint; 801 9th Street 
NW, Washington, DC 20220; or email [email protected].

    Authority: Public Law 116-330.

Eric Anderson,
Executive Secretary, United States Mint.
