2022 American Women Quarters: All Five Coins
Five American Women Quarters were issued in 2022: Maya Angelou, Dr. Sally Ride, Wilma Mankiller, Nina Otero-Warren and Anna May Wong. 2,568,200,000 were struck for circulation. The lowest mintage of the year is the Nina Otero-Warren quarter at 444,200,000 and the highest is the Wilma Mankiller at 607,400,000. In circulated condition each is worth 25 cents.
2022 was the first year of the program and the year the new obverse arrived. Laura Gardin Fraser's right-facing George Washington, designed for a 1931 competition and passed over at the time, replaced John Flanagan's left-facing portrait, which had been on the quarter since 1932. The first coin, Maya Angelou, entered circulation on 10 January 2022.
The 2022 coins were struck in large numbers, 2,568,200,000 across the five designs, and all five remain common in change. Two of them are behind the program's best-known error stories: the unique 2022-P Sally Ride struck on a nickel planchet, and the 2022 Wilma Mankiller, which has more certified errors on record than any other design.

Mintage and rarity
The 2022 total of 2,568,200,000 is 32 percent of the program's 8,024,800,000 coins. Within the year, the Nina Otero-Warren quarter has the lowest mintage and the Wilma Mankiller quarter the highest. The lowest single-mint issue is the 2022-D Nina Otero-Warren, at 219,200,000. None of these numbers make a circulated coin scarce in any practical sense; they decide which coin is hardest to find in change, not which one is valuable. See all 20 mintages and the key date.
The 2022 obverse
All five 2022 coins share one obverse: George Washington facing right, from Laura Gardin Fraser's 1931 design, with LIBERTY, IN GOD WE TRUST, the date 2022 and the mint mark. The mint mark is to the right of Washington's neck, below the date. P is Philadelphia and D is Denver; S, for San Francisco, appears only on coins sold to collectors.
Errors
Documented errors or varieties exist for Dr. Sally Ride and Wilma Mankiller. Everything else sold as a 2022 American Women Quarter error is, in the cases checked, die wear, machine doubling or damage. The errors page has the full documented list and nine tests that separate an error from damage.
