据美国联邦铸币局(U.S.Mint)官网消息,该局于近期宣布成立“杰出美国女性铸币计划”(American Women Quarters Program)。该计划将在2022年至2025年间,每年发行最多五款全新的25美分硬币。硬币将以不同领域、族裔,兼具多元化背景的美国杰出女性头像为图案。第一年发行的硬币就包括了首位华裔美籍的好莱坞女星黄柳霜(Anna May Wong)。
Anna May Wong was an American actress, considered to be the first Chinese American Hollywood movie star, as well as the first Chinese American actress to gain international recognition. Her varied career spanned silent film, sound film, television, stage, and radio.
