The United States Bicentennial coinage issued in 1975 and 1976 included three denominations.
The denominations were the quarter, half dollar, and dollar. Each received a temporary reverse design while retaining the familiar obverse associated with the Washington quarter, Kennedy half dollar, or Eisenhower dollar.
All three coins carried the dual date “1776–1976,” even when they were struck in 1975. The quarter showed a colonial drummer, the half dollar depicted Independence Hall, and the dollar placed the Liberty Bell against the Moon.
The Mint produced both copper-nickel circulation versions and silver-clad collector versions. These coins are often called commemorative coins, but they were unusual because they circulated as ordinary legal-tender denominations. Their large production numbers mean that common examples are generally easy to find, unlike many low-mintage commemorative issues.
