notes: label: Description
content: Introduced in 1979, the Susan B. Anthony Dollar was the first American coin to have the image of a non-allegorical woman. The coin was planned as an 11-sided polygon, but vending machine owners claimed that retrofitting their machines would be too expensive, so the coin was made round. People couldn’t readily tell the new coin apart from a quarter, and it was soon driven out of production.
