To which space station did the Mint send a set of 2026 Semiquincentennial coins?

The Mint sent a set of 2026 Semiquincentennial coins to the International Space Station.

On May 15, 2026, a 1776~2026 nickel, dime, half dollar and complete set of five quarters traveled to the International Space Station. The coins were part of the payload aboard SpaceX’s Falcon 9 launch for NASA’s 34th Commercial Resupply Services mission, designated SpaceX CRS-34.

The shipment connected the anniversary coin program with the continuing American presence in orbit. It was not a normal circulation release or a collector product sold through the Mint. Instead, the coins traveled as part of an uncrewed resupply mission carrying material to the station.

The set did not include every coin associated with the 2026 program. The reported payload specifically included the nickel, dime, half dollar and five quarters. The International Space Station is a multinational orbital laboratory, so the launch gave the national anniversary program an international and scientific setting beyond the United States.
