The United States Mint is launching unique ornaments today, featuring the five different 2024 quarters. Available for purchase starting at Noon ET, each is priced at $35.
At the heart of each colorful ornament is one of the five 2024-dated designs from the U.S. Mint’s American Women Quarters™ Program, struck in uncirculated quality at the Philadelphia Mint. These quarters honor the significant contributions of women to the history of the United States.
The 2024 quarters, as well as these ornaments, honor:
- Rev. Dr. Pauli Murray – poet, writer, activist, lawyer, and Episcopal priest
- Patsy Takemoto Mink – the first woman of color to serve in Congress
- Dr. Mary Edwards Walker – Civil War-era surgeon, women’s rights and dress reform advocate
- Celia Cruz – Cuban-American singer, cultural icon, and one of the most popular Latin artists of the 20th century
- Zitkala-Ša – writer, composer, educator, and political activist
The ornaments are crafted from solid brass with a rhodium finish, featuring vibrant design elements surrounding each coin that highlight the accomplishments of the celebrated individual. Examples include books and a typewriter on the Rev. Dr. Pauli Murray ornament, and a medical bag alongside the Medal of Honor on the Dr. Mary Edwards Walker ornament.
Quarters honoring American women debuted in 2022, with the program featuring five new releases annually through 2025. Next year’s quarters will celebrate Ida B. Wells, Juliette Gordon Low, Dr. Vera Rubin, Stacey Park Milbern, and Althea Gibson.
Ordering
American Women Quarters Ornaments, including releases from previous years, can be found on the U.S. Mint’s online store dedicated to quarter products.
