On what date did the 2026 semiquincentennial Revolutionary War quarter enter U.S. circulation?

The story behind the answer

The 2026 semiquincentennial Revolutionary War quarter entered U.S. circulation on March 23, 2026.

The coin is one of five quarter designs issued for the United States Semiquincentennial. Its reverse depicts a Continental Army soldier overlooking Valley Forge, linking the coin to the Revolutionary War and the winter encampment associated with George Washington's army.

The Mayflower Compact quarter was released first, on January 5, 2026. The Revolutionary War quarter followed in March, while the Declaration of Independence quarter entered circulation on May 25. These release dates create a chronological sequence within the commemorative program.

The quarter is intended for ordinary circulation, unlike some special silver and gold products produced by the Mint for collectors. Its 1776–2026 marking connects the Revolutionary founding era with the 250th anniversary year.
