JUL 3 1979 Anthony Dollars Sought To Aid ERA Carole Mangan, with sign, and Frances Lively from the Colorado chapter of the National Organization of Women solicit money-particularly the new Susan B. Anthony dollar coin-at corner of 17th and California streets to support Equal Rights Amendment campaign. The women were dressed in suffragette costumes Monday in honor of Anthony, whose likeness appears on one side of new coin issued Monday. No significant lines to buy the coins were reported in Denver, but lines were long in other parts of the country. The Denver Mint will provide bulk of the Anthony dollars made nationwide.
