Which law authorized the United States Semiquincentennial coin designs?

The Circulating Collectible Coin Redesign Act of 2020 authorized the United States Semiquincentennial coin designs.

The law established authority for special circulating coin designs during the period from 2022 through 2030. Its provisions included the commemorative redesigns issued for the 250th anniversary of American independence in 2026.

The program covered several denominations, including five quarter dollars, a dime, a half dollar, and a one-dollar coin. The legislation also authorized the American Women Quarters Program and later planned circulating commemorative programs, making it broader than the 2026 anniversary alone.

The act was introduced by Representative Barbara Lee of California. Both the House of Representatives and Senate supported it unanimously, and President Donald Trump signed it into law in 2021. The year in the law’s title refers to its passage as legislation, while the signing occurred the following year.
