Answer 1

-She was a civil rights leader. (for feminism)
... n 1872, Susan demanded that women be given the same civil and political rights that had been extended to black males under the 14th and 15th amendments. Thus, she led a group of women to the polls in Rochester to test the right of women to vote. She was arrested two weeks later and while awaiting trial, engaged in highly publicized lecture tours and in March 1873, she tried to vote again in city elections. After being tried and convicted of violating the voting laws, Susan succeeded in her refusal to pay the fine. From then on she campaigned endlessly for a federal woman suffrage amendment through the National Woman Suffrage Association (1869-90) and the National American Woman Suffrage Association (1890-1906) and by lecturing throughout the country.

-She is quoted as saying, "I know nothing but woman and her disfranchised."

-In 1978, President Jimmy Carter signed the Susan B. Anthony Dollar Coin Act into law (Public Law 95-447). This law amended the Coinage Act of 1965, changing the size, weight, and design of the one-dollar coin. On July 2, 1979, the U. S. Mint officially released the Susan B. Anthony coin in Rochester, NY, the home of Susan B. Anthony during the most politically active years of her life. In 1979, 757,813,744 coins were produced. Additional coins were dated 1980, 1981 (numanistic items only), and 1999. Ultimately, the United States Mint produced 888,842,452 Susan B. Anthony coins for circulation.

Answer 2

first real woman honored on a US coin. And the coin, I am sad to say, is NOT a silver dollar--there has been NO SILVER in a circulating US coin since 1965. The first Susan B coin was issued in 1979. Then again in 1980, 1981, and 1999. Not a popular coin so was replaced by the "golden" Sacajeweia (sp) dollar--no gold in that either.First man was Lincoln on the penny-1909--one hundred years after he was born and very controversial at the time.

Answer 3

No such element !! ... and in case you made a typing errors and meant 1992 nicely you're nevertheless out of success on account that there have been none struck in that 3 hundred and sixty 5 days. carry directly to it and instruct the closest broker for you will have a collectible counterfeit on your hands and the dazzling individual pays heavily for it. Get a minimum of three value determinations earlier merchandising.
