Genuinely curious - is the most deserving Asian American or female Asian American we could put on US currency? I've never heard of her - but that doesn't mean anything.

The only movie I remember seeing her in she played an exaggerated evil character like a female Fu Manchu. However, the fact it was played by an Asian woman as opposed to a white actor is probably significant.

Yo-Yo MA

Jerry Yang

Joyce Chen

Haing S. Ngor

Dr. Chien-Shiung Wu

Many suitable candidates. But Anna May Wong also shows up on lists of notable Asian Americans.

I gave it a Goog, and on every list she's up there...that being said, Joyce Chen I think would be deserving...but maybe only because I've heard of her.

I was wondering the same. Still though, a good thing to see.

How about total digital currency apps where you can put any face on anything?

Then someone can send you an NFT that robs them all from your wallet.

Does this really mean anything? I can't think of the last time I saw another person use physical money.
