Shown here are the front and back of the new 2022 quarter. I only noticed them as I recently received one in change. At first I noticed that George Washington was facing the other way as compared to our experience for decades. I turned it over and at a glance thought it was a depiction of Columbia, it was only when I got home and looked closer that I realized it was Maya Angelou, Poet Laureate of the left. I somehow doubt that this is going to be a series depicting the many poet laureates. Now debasing the currency is a mission off the Democrats in more ways than one.
Here is the previous year quarter with Washington facing the way he has been depicted since 1932 through 2021. The reverse side never changed until 1998, I read, except for the 1976 bicentennial edition. We have been treated to the fifty state quarters and a variety of national parks, territories and more recently events from American history and some personages and events of historical significance (all using the long established Washington profile) . The “crossing the Delaware” 2021 reverse I thought ought to be the permanent version.
Any of the nameless soldiers in the boats across the Delaware, now removed from backing George Washington on the current US quarter, had more courage and more important impact on America than self-absorbed Maya Angelou whose glorification is now on the back of the 2022 coin. Her claim to fame is made up of SEVEN apocryphal autobiographies and leftist party invites. Who writes seven autobiographies? Who the hell reads them?
After Maya Angelou why not Cardi B?
Like Maya, Cardi B is also an influencer (reaching more millions than pages in Angelou’s many “autobiographies”), accomplished lyricist, also like Maya a former sex worker, big time leftist party goer and fave of deified Barry and Michelle. Speaking of whom the only reason to pass them up for the quarter is a grander numismatic plan — replacing Washington with them on everything — which has some logic given how their policies and ilk have debased the dollar — why not recognize it officially? It can be fondly referred to as the BM for all its worth.
But of course the pièce de résistance given the reasoning behind Maya Angelou selection ought to be the redoing of Mount Rushmore. Look for Megan Thee Stallion, Nicki Minaj, Saweetie and Rico Nasty, mountains of talent that they are, to replace Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln and T. Roosevelt.

Head to head. We have no problem with the change in profile, but we do wonder why?
