Women on U.S. Coins & Currency

Celebrate the Leaders, Innovators & Trailblazers Who Shaped America

Women’s History Month honors the innovators, leaders, and trailblazers whose influence shaped the United States. Many of these women — from civil rights pioneers to scientists, cultural icons, and advocates for justice — are also honored through one of the most enduring forms of American storytelling: our coins and currency.

Across U.S. coinage and historic notes, their achievements live on in metal and paper, offering collectors a powerful connection to the women who changed America.
