Seriously, just go watch some of her performances.

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.

You realize that George Washington is still on these quarters, right?

Yes, because he has historical significance. That’s the point, duh. You can even litmus test historical significance - everyone under 40 knows who GW is, no one under 40 knows who Cruz is.

Whatever. She's on the quarter and you can die mad about it. No one, under or over 40, cares a bit if you don't like it.

I teach in a heavily Latino/Latina school, and I guarantee you my tween students know Celia Cruz.

Are you living a rock? She's a freaking salsa legend. But then I'm from NYC and everyone there knows who she is. You've probably never heard of Tito Puente either.

It is part of the American Women Quarters project. At some point, a ballerina was featured.

Ae have also had Duke Ellington and John Muir on coins.

It will be okay, OP. I promise.

OP, go back to bed. Today is not your day.

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?
