When it comes to commemoratives from 1936, there are so many different designs and that’s why I think it’s such a cool year. There were 21 U.S commemoratives minted that year and 16 of those designs were only minted in 1936. The reason there were so many commemoratives that year is because in the 1930’s the commemorative market was really hot and we’re in high demand. Of course the mint wanted to make some money so they minted the most commemoratives they have ever minted in one year. 

I am super excited to announce that the mint released the winning designs for the 2023 women quarters just three days ago. Starting with Bessie Coleman, an African American U.S. pilot who was a big pioneer. The date 6.15.1921 on the coin is when Bessie Coleman earned her pilots license,  making her the first African American women to get their pilots license. Jovita Idar, on the second design, was a Mexican American activist who wanted Mexican Americans to be more respected and to have a better future. The design features her clothing made out of words including: "MEXICAN AMERICAN RIGHTS" and "JOURNALIST", and of course "QUARTER DOLLAR" and "E PLURIBUS UNUM". There is also Edith Kanaka'ole, whose hair in the design flows into the Hawaiian land. She preserved and taught Hawaiian culture. Then there's Eleanor Roosevelt fought for social justice and human rights. The coin states "UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS" which she helped create. Human Rights are right people say everyone should have here's the list of them: https://www.un.org/en/about-us/universal-declaration-of-human-rights. Finally there's Maria Tallchief a Native American ballerina. On the design it shows her name written in Osage orthography which translates to "Two Standards".
