And why is she on the U.S. quarter?
https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/unique-eternal-iconic-cuban-singer-222733168.html Shouldn’t people on currency have historical significance in some way? I have no idea who Ms. Cruz is and I’ve been on this Earth for more than 40+ years. Hell, if we are going to put inconsequential celebrities on currency now, why didn’t they go with Aretha Franklin before Ms. Cruz? Far more Americans know who Franklin is. |

| Well if she wasn’t on a quarter we’d continue to have millions of uneducated, uncultured people like yourself. But thanks to the quarter you now know who Celia Cruz is! |

| Do you have any idea how ignorant you sound? How embarrassing. You don’t need to so enthusiastically advertise how much of a philistine you are. |

Name a single way Celia Cruz has ever improved the life of an average American. Very little historical significance. Hell they could have gone with RGB first. Entertainers don't belong on the currency at all. She's just a boomer product virtually no one younger than 40 has ever heard of, which shows how inconsequential her historical significance is. |

Of course they know. They are trolling. It’s deliberate. |

Gimme a break Without googling, name me the first Asian American actress in Hollywood. I bet my entire life savings on you not knowing the answer without googling. Answer: Anna May Wong. Omg, see how philistine, uncultured, and ignorant you are!!! How dare you not know C and D tier celebrities who've contributed little to the country. Maybe Wong needs to be on the quarters now too. Thank god I haven't used hard cash in probably the last 1.5 years though..Who uses cash with irrelevant celebrities on it anymore? |

No she's not. She doesn't have a single platinum record to her name. She's a niche musician, just like the sex pistols are for punk rock. |

Here, let me Google that for you.
Seriously, just go watch some of her performances. |

Anna May Wong was on a quarter a couple years ago. |

Nobody under 40 knows who Cruz is. Everyone under 40 knows who George Washington is. Why are we putting back corner entertainers on currency now? It should be reserved for people who actually change the country and are of great historical importance. |
