Where did you see that news? The Maya Angelou 25c doesn't get released from the mint until 07FEB. I don't think you will see any in circulation until at least that date. I usually start getting my new year coins at the end of February.
Just saw a post on reddit where someone got 2 rolls of the Maya Angelou quarter already. I guess they ARE out there. Will be interesting to see what boxes I get on Friday.
The National Park of American Samoa ATB quarters appeared in circulation quite early in Tennessee back in January 2020. Did the poster state their location? If so, it should give an idea of which Federal Reserve Bank they were distributed through.
I'm interested about the location as well,it might take a little while to get all the way down here or it'll be fast.
Here is the link https://www.reddit.com/r/CRH/comments/s198t8/found_2022_quarters_early_what_you_do_none_for/ I haven't seen if they said where they are located yet.
