While some suggested the new quarter reflects modern society turning its back on God, this design was created in the 1930s.
Also, the “American Woman Quarters Program” was not the first time that the U.S. Mint used Fraser’s right-facing Washington design on a coin. TheDean Kotlowski, a member of the Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee , said of Fraser’s design in a‘She’s able to create a sense of his seriousness of purpose. The cheek muscles, you see the strength, the strength of character. The looking ahead, straight ahead, the sense of vision.
In sum, it was true that quarters released in 2022 showed Washington facing right, while the common quarter had depicted his profile looking left. However, there wasn’t any evidence that the design of the new quarters had anything to do with religion. Fraser’s right-facing design was chosen, in part, because the series of coins honored the contributions of women to American society and Fraser was a well-known female sculptor.
