More than 60 years after Anna May Wong became the first Asian American woman to receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, the pioneering actor has coined another first, quite literally.

Hollywood actress and trailblazer Anna May Wong will be honored on the U.S. quarter this year. She'll be the first Asian American featured on U.S. currency.

Despite her trailblazing career, the actress also faced racism in the industry, where she was typecast, underpaid and passed up for leading roles.

The U.S. Mint has put silent-era Hollywood actress Anna May Wong on a special edition of U.S. quarters, making her the first Asian American to be featured on official U.S. currency.

Anna May Wong is widely credited as the first Chinese-American movie star.
