Related: About this forumThe first woman in a wheelchair featured on U.S. currency.
I found a 2025 quarter and wondered about its unique reverse design.

"The late disability justice co-founder and activist Stacey Park Milbern is the latest pioneering woman to receive her own quarter from the U.S. Mint. Milbern is the first woman in a wheelchair featured on U.S. currency and the first person whose wheelchair is actually shown. "
