The 2026 U.S. semiquincentennial coin program includes five commemorative quarter-dollar designs. These quarters are part of a broader set of special coinage connected with the United States’ 250th anniversary.
The program covers several circulating denominations. Besides the five quarters, the semiquincentennial coinage includes special designs or treatments involving the dime, half dollar, and dollar, while the cent and nickel remain part of the circulating series under the program’s rules.
The quarter was given multiple designs because it is one of the most visible and frequently used U.S. coins. The designs were selected through a process involving the Treasury Department, the Commission of Fine Arts, and the Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee. This program is separate from the earlier 1976 bicentennial quarter, which used a dual-date design.
