Celia Cruz, the Queen of Salsa, will be honored on a quarter in 2024 as part of the American Women Quarters Program. This program, launched in 2020, recognizes people of diverse backgrounds for their accomplishments, and Cruz will be the first Latina singer featured. The Mint has been issuing commemorative coins since 1792, and the American Women Quarters Program is the latest effort to honor the contributions of women throughout history.
