The quarter dollar received five different commemorative designs for United States Semiquincentennial coinage.
The Circulating Collectible Coin Redesign Act of 2020 authorized special circulating-coin designs for the 250th anniversary of American independence. The program covered six denominations, but the quarter received a larger group of designs than the other denominations.
The 2026 coinage included five semiquincentennial quarters alongside special designs for the dime, half dollar, and one-dollar coin. The cent and nickel retained their current-series designs while carrying the dual date “1776~2026” in the planned anniversary treatment.
The quarter program included designs connected with subjects such as the Mayflower Compact, the Revolutionary War, and the Declaration of Independence. A quarter is worth 25 cents, while a quarter dollar is the denomination’s formal monetary name. This can cause a minor wording mix-up in trivia: “quarter” and “quarter dollar” refer to the same U.S. coin denomination here.
