She was the first real woman depicted on U.S. currency

The Susan B. Anthony Dollar Coin Act, which replaced the current dollar coin with one featuring Anthony's likeness, was signed into law by President Jimmy Carter in 1978. The 1979 dollar showing Susan B. Anthony was the first time an actual, historical woman featured on any U.S. currency, despite other female icons like Lady Liberty having previously graced the currency. This is one of the most interesting facts about Susan B. Anthony. Only from 1979 to 1981 were these dollars produced before production was stopped because they were frequently mistaken for quarters. To satisfy the vending machine industry's demand, the coin was produced once more in 1999. The coin wasn't extensively used because it resembled a quarter a little too much and didn't have a special place in cash registers. Sacagawea on the dollar coin and Helen Keller on a limited-edition quarter in Alabama are two well-known American women who featured on coinage after Anthony.

However, Anthony might be given another chance when she appears on the $10 bill's new reverse. (At this time, it's unclear when the to revamp, which was announced in 2016, will happen.) Stanton, Lucretia Mott, Sojourner Truth, and Alice Paul are some more significant women who are anticipated to be included in the redesigned $10.
