Which 2020 law authorized redesigned circulating coins for the United States Semiquincentennial?

The Circulating Collectible Coin Redesign Act of 2020 authorized redesigned circulating coins for the United States Semiquincentennial.

Passed during Donald Trump's first presidential administration, the act authorized special circulating-coin designs for selected years from 2022 through 2030. Its anniversary provisions included a redesign program for 2026, marking the 250th anniversary of American independence.

The law provided for six circulating denominations to receive semiquincentennial designs, including five quarter-dollar designs. It also required one quarter to recognize the contributions of women to the nation's independence. The United States Mint developed designs through consultation with the Commission of Fine Arts and the Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee.

The legislation is easy to confuse with the separate United States Semiquincentennial Commission Act of 2016, which created the federal planning commission. The coin-redesign law instead dealt specifically with the authority and design framework for commemorative circulating coinage.
