Considering you didn't even get my quote right, I don't give a fuck.

I live near a US mint. Does that count?

My bad! Yes, this is US based because I forgot other countries can participate.
We just launched a new series of quarters highlighting historic females. Anna May Wong is the first. Maya Angelou and Dr Sally Ride are coming up next. The first Indigenous American female chief (I forget the tribe) and one more female will be featured.

Moreso she's being featured on the new quarter, which is making racists heads explode.
One guy on Facebook said, "Anna May isn't even her real name!"
My rebuttal was, "Would you feel that way about Mariyln? Her real name was Norma".
