Coin honoring Sally Ride, first US woman in space, enters circulation [i]The United States' first woman to fly into space has lifted off a new mission, this time to orbit the nation in the form of a new circulating coin. The U.S. Mint on Monday (March 21) began shipping the Dr. Sally Ride quarter, the second coin in its American Women Quarters program. Struck at the Mint's facilities in Philadelphia and Denver, the 25-cent pieces — each displaying an engraving depicting the late astronaut — should begin showing up at banks and in the change tendered at stores over the next three to four weeks.[/i]
