Why is the Susan B Anthony dollar coin called the Carter quarter?
The Susan B. Anthony dollar coin is sometimes colloquially referred to as the 'Carter quarter' due to its association with the presidency of Jimmy Carter. This nickname arose because the coin was introduced during Carter's administration, and its similar size and appearance to the quarter led to confusion, thus the humorous moniker.
Why is the SBA dollar coin called the Carter quarter?
The SBA dollar coin is actually a misnomer, as SBA stands for 'Susan B. Anthony dollar coin' and not related to 'Carter quarter'. The coin was named after Susan B. Anthony, a prominent figure in the women's suffrage movement. The term 'Carter quarter' seems to be a misconception or possibly a regional slang, as it is not an officially recognized name for any U.S. coin.
