What is the full name of the 2020 law that authorized special coin designs for America250?

The full name of the 2020 law that authorized special coin designs for America250 is the Circulating Collectible Coin Redesign Act of 2020.

Congress passed the act to permit redesigns of circulating U.S. coins for specified anniversaries and themes. Its provisions included special designs for the United States Semiquincentennial, which would be celebrated in 2026.

The law covered six denominations of circulating coins and authorized a series of five quarter designs for the semiquincentennial. One quarter design was required to depict women’s contributions to American independence. The law also established a review process involving the Secretary of the Treasury, the Commission of Fine Arts, and the Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee.

The act’s name can be confused with a generic commemorative-coin bill. Its significance is that it addressed circulating coin redesigns, meaning coins intended to enter ordinary commerce, rather than only collector medals or noncirculating souvenirs.
