Five commemorative quarters are planned in the 2026 America250 coin program.
The semiquincentennial coinage plan includes five quarter-dollar designs connected with the 250th anniversary. The program also involves other denominations, including a dime, half dollar, and dollar, while cents and nickels remain part of their current series under the broader authorization.
The coin program was authorized by the Circulating Collectible Coin Redesign Act of 2020. That law created a framework for special circulating designs during the 2020s, including coins marking the 250th anniversary in 2026.
The number five refers specifically to the planned quarter designs, not to the total number of coins in the program. It is therefore different from the number of denominations or the number of years since the Declaration of Independence.
