They called them "Carter Quarters." but quarters they were not. To recognize a champion of woman's rights, the U.S. made a decision in 1979 to mint a new coin. The results - mixed at best.

We talk about this coin, and about a lost speech Lincoln made, and how he may have jumped out a window to avoid a vote.
