Five commemorative quarter designs are planned for United States Semiquincentennial coinage.
The coinage program was authorized for 2026 to recognize the 250th anniversary of American independence. It is planned to include a dime, five quarters, a half dollar, and a one-dollar coin, with commemorative designs on the denominations specified by law. The program also concerns the circulating coin series rather than only collector medals.
The authority for the program came from the Circulating Collectible Coin Redesign Act of 2020. That law created a framework for redesigning circulating coins for major anniversaries and national themes. It also authorized the American Women Quarters Program, which began issuing quarters in 2022.
The number five refers to quarter designs, not the total number of coins in the entire semiquincentennial program. The full program includes multiple denominations, while cents and nickels were planned to retain their current-series treatment rather than receive commemorative designs.
