The U.S. Mint struck 78.2 million Mayflower Compact quarters in December 2025 for the 2026 Semiquincentennial.
The Mayflower Compact quarter was the first of the five 2026 anniversary quarter designs to enter circulation. Its reverse depicts the Mayflower, while the obverse uses a portrait of George Washington. The design connects the anniversary program with the 1620 agreement signed by the Pilgrims aboard the Mayflower.
Of the 78.2 million coins struck in December, 48.8 million were produced at the Denver Mint. The remainder were struck at the Philadelphia Mint. The quarter was released into circulation on January 5, 2026, alongside the anniversary dime and half dollar.
The Mayflower Compact predates the Declaration of Independence by 156 years, so it is not a Revolutionary War document. Its inclusion in the coin program reflects the broader history of the United States and the colonial roots often discussed during the 250th-anniversary commemoration.
