Was thrilled to see her included for all she championed. Hopefully this becomes something regular going forward - whether it's issuing more than the 300 mil or designing more historically influential individual inspired coins for regular circulation.

Here's also the list so far from the US Mint for this year and next year

2022

Maya Angelou – celebrated writer, performer, and social activist

Dr. Sally Ride – physicist, astronaut, educator, and first American woman in space

Wilma Mankiller – first woman elected principal chief of the Cherokee Nation

Nina Otero-Warren – a leader in New Mexico’s suffrage movement and the first woman superintendent of Santa Fe public schools

Anna May Wong – first Chinese American film star in Hollywood

2023

Bessie Coleman – first African American and first Native American woman pilot

Edith Kanakaʻole – indigenous Hawaiian composer, custodian of native culture and traditions

Eleanor Roosevelt – first lady, author, and civil liberties advocate

Was she lesbian? You sure she wasn't a BAM?

Edit:... I... I know what Bamf stands for. Bam should make sense right?

And holy crap what's with the downvotes?
